3rd User Day “OpenIRIS for JenaVersum”

Jena is a center of science and research known for its excellent research and high-performance research infrastructures. Since its founding in 2021, JenaVersum has been promoting the networked and coordinated use of research infrastructures. The open-source platform OpenIRIS is an important component of this effort. It enables researchers and resource providers to share technologies and manage scientific services. More and more institutes, core facilities, and service units are actively using the platform, making their equipment visible and thus contributing to a sustainable research landscape in Jena.

The 3rd User Day “OpenIRIS for JenaVersum” offers an opportunity to learn about the possibilities of OpenIRIS, exchange experiences, and benefit from the experiences of other users. The event is aimed at current users as well as interested parties. In addition to networking opportunities, insights into current developments and perspectives of the platform will be provided. Together, we will explore how research infrastructures can be better shared, used, and further developed.

Profit or Purpose? Workshop on Corporate Social Responsibility

The Community Foundation invites you to an interactive workshop on corporate social responsibility

For companies, social and sustainable responsibility has long been more than just a voluntary commitment. New EU directives and legal requirements make it clear: CSR is a central component of sustainable business practices.

But what does this mean in concrete terms for companies in practice?
How can social engagement and economic success be meaningfully combined?
And what requirements will companies actually face?

In this workshop format, we will take a practical look at CSR and sustainable business practices together. In addition to presentations and discussions, the event offers opportunities for exchange and networking.

The event is aimed at entrepreneurs, managing directors, CSR officers, and anyone involved in sustainable business practices.

Further information and registration are available here.
