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.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the universe! Enjoy engaging lectures in which astronomers from the TLS present the latest research findings and offer insights into the big questions of modern astronomy.

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.

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

Anyone who knows the Bible even a little bit has a clear advantage in art history.

The exhibition "Images & Building Blocks" focuses on birds and insects. Through his documentary nature photography, Hubert Mahr aims to highlight the fascinating diversity of local habitats and draw attention to details that are often overlooked.

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.

Can you defuse the bomb? The green light is the perfect way to tell if you've wired it correctly!

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.
