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.

Do you want to know what a biobank is and what happens there? Would you like to make your own biobank samples? And do you want to find out just how cold it can get in a biobank? Then come on by and join us!

In 1846, Carl Wilhelm Goettling founded the Archaeological Museum at the University of Jena. Donations and acquisitions have caused the collection to grow significantly over the decades. An anniversary exhibition traces its 180-year history through a selection of donated items.

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.

Marvel at the milestones from 35 years of study, teaching, research, and campus life at the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences in Jena

Insects are by far the most species-rich class of animals. They inhabit the most unusual habitats. But what makes them so successful? We introduce the subjects of our research and discuss their lifestyles and their contribution to science.

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 should we deal with discriminatory statements? What anti-democratic codes and symbols appear on social media? How do AI and VR contribute to shaping the learning process about democracy? We explore these and other questions in our programs.

What might current concepts and technologies for local supply look like? During hourly lab tours, we showcase digital applications, smart store technologies, and research approaches at the Local Supply Real-World Lab.

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

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.

Explore virtual worlds, discover digital cultural heritage, and take a journey through Jena's history

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.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—one of the most important imaging techniques—why does a scan take so long? Where do the noises come from? How strong is the static magnetic field?

This is how we determine in the microbiology lab which bacteria, viruses, or parasites are responsible for an infection.
