On November 25, 2026, it’s time to log in, get inspired, and rediscover study opportunities! From 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena will virtually open its doors and warmly invite prospective students and their parents to an online information evening. As a modern, research-intensive university of applied sciences, EAH Jena offers a broad, practice-oriented range of degree programs—and that’s exactly what this evening’s event will focus on.

What degree programs are available at Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences? How and when can you apply? How can you finance your studies? Questions like these will be addressed during the information evening. The team from the Student Services and Academic Advising Center will present the diverse range of degree programs in the fields of engineering, business, social sciences, and health, and provide valuable insights into admission requirements and the application process. The Thüringen Student Services Organization will also be present to provide information on housing options and everything else that makes starting college easier.

Hands-on Science

On November 20, 2026, the Long Night of Science in Jena invites you to rediscover science, research, and innovation in Jena. From exciting experiments and hands-on activities to lectures, guided tours, and special insights, a diverse program invites you to experience science firsthand. The Long Night of Science is the city’s largest science event. More than 50 partners—including universities, research institutes, companies, and other scientific institutions—will open their doors. This offers an opportunity to experience science up close, talk with researchers, and take a look behind the scenes of their current work.

This year marks the 10th edition of the Long Night of Science in Jena, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the Ernst Abbe University (EAH). The opening event will therefore take place this year in the EAH auditorium and will tell the story of a city shaped by science, as well as the story of a university that has been creating knowledge, inspiring people, and shaping the future for 35 years.
