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 is an innovative drug actually developed? We'll show you during our tours of the development labs.

Learn how artificial intelligence (AI), satellite imagery, and drones are revolutionizing archaeological research by enabling precise remote sensing and terrain mapping to uncover hidden sites and shed light on history using state-of-the-art

Learn how general aviation is used as a flying weather observation network and how data science supports the maintenance and repair of aircraft engines through predictive maintenance.

Send digital data securely using “magical” light particles, or create images out of thin air! Researchers at Fraunhofer IOF are developing state-of-the-art systems to protect our data and diagnose diseases using quantum technologies.

In addition to guided tours and an exhibition, we also offer hands-on activities for all ages...

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!

The generation and storage of electrical energy (electricity), the storage and utilization of carbon dioxide, and the production of “green hydrogen” are at the heart of the energy transition we are striving for. We provide an overview of current research.

How are camera systems designed that can capture information from different distances without moving the lens?

The heart is the engine of life—we'll show you how to keep it running on your own and how we can help you do that.

At the UKJ, we care not only about the health of our patients, but also about the well-being of the animals used in our experimental research

What can the microbes living in your gut tell us about your health? Discover how researchers combine biology, computer science, and AI to uncover hidden patterns in the gut microbiome.

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.

Y-Space is a research project aimed at developing a UAV carrier platform capable of briefly generating true microgravity (≤ 0.1 g, up to 10 seconds, 3 kg payload). The goal is to create a mobile, cost-effective alternative to parabolic flights.

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.
