What will tomorrow’s energy supply look like—and what aspects of it are already a reality in Jena today? The City of Jena’s exhibition “ENERGY—WHAT MOVES US” provides answers to these and other questions about the energy transition.

How and where do the scientists conduct their research? We invite you to join us for an informative tour of the FLI’s new laboratory building, where we’ll share some interesting facts about the “art in architecture” featured in the building.

Artistically crafted specimens and easy-to-understand models convey the fundamentals of anatomy and offer fascinating insights into the body’s inner workings. The historical significance of this 200-year-old collection can be experienced, for example, through Goethe’s intermaxillary specimens.

Collection items, forest maps, museum inventories: Experience firsthand how we’re using AI to digitally catalog Thuringia’s cultural treasures. And beneath the ThULB, the Fürstenkeller—dating back to 1532—awaits exploration—one of the largest vaulted cellars in Germany.

We’ll give you a glimpse into our research on molds and show you how we’re searching for new antibiotics. You’ll learn how we work safely with molds in the lab and discover the fascinating “language” of microorganisms.

What is chromatography? And what do a rainbow and a chocolate lentil have to do with it?

With Robo-Power, we're fighting the antibiotic crisis. Visit our unique robotics platform, JenXplor!

Self-healing and shape-memory polymers, as well as polymers used as drug carriers, are the focus of current research, in which automation, digitalization, and AI are playing an increasingly important role.

How do doctors identify tumor boundaries? Why do middle ear infections occur? And how do modern technologies help us better understand diseases?

We provide fascinating insights into the latest research in pharmaceutical technology and show how innovative materials and manufacturing processes are helping to shape the medicine of tomorrow.

The immune system fights dangerous pathogens with tremendous force, but some of them put up a fight! Conduct your own catalase test and trigger a yeast eruption in our lab to see how yeast resists these attacks.

How can a glow stick glow—without bending it? Why can a Tonic soda glow? We'll get to the bottom of these questions together with you.

RNA is a central pillar of molecular biology. Join the “RNA Biology of Fungal Infections” Junior Research Group on an adventure into the world of RNA and infection biology through playful activities for young and old.
