Green light for Jena’s smartest traffic lights

Jenaversum

There’s a reason to celebrate: Jena is getting the smartest traffic lights!

Our idea for Bürgerbudget 2025 has been accepted! Soon, every traffic light stop will become a little discovery tour through the science city of Jena, because microscopes, microorganisms, and other symbols of science will decorate selected pedestrian traffic lights and show what our city stands for: research, education, and togetherness. Science does not belong behind closed doors, but at the heart of life. The traffic lights will contribute to this: Each science traffic light will feature a QR-code providing information on current research topics.

We are delighted about this success and would like to thank all our network partners and supporters who made this possible with their votes. Together, we are making science and innovation in Jena even more visible!

Evening Lecture at UKJ: Coronary Heart Disease

Jenaversum

Evening lecture at Jena University Hospital on the topic of “Coronary heart disease – from heartache to heart attack”

Coronary heart disease is one of the most common chronic heart conditions and affects around four million people in Germany. If left undiagnosed or inadequately treated, coronary heart disease can lead to acute heart attack and even sudden cardiac death. Prof. Dr. Christian Schulze, Director of the Department of Internal Medicine I (Cardiology), explains the risk factors that contribute to coronary heart disease and how to recognize them. He will also discuss current treatment options and tips that everyone can follow as a preventive measure.

The event is part of a free lecture series organized by Jena University Hospital in collaboration with the Friends of the University Hospital Association. Doctors and scientists regularly share the latest health information in an easy-to-understand way. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to talk to the speaker and other participants.

Admission is free and no advance registration is required; there are plenty of seats available.
