Climate Meets Cinema

On September 17, 2026, Friedrich Schiller University Jena invites you to the “L³ Future Dialogue: Climate, Change, Science” at CineStar Jena. As part of the nationwide Climate Adaptation Week (September 14–20), the “Light. Life. Liberty.” research initiatives will bring together scientific and societal perspectives on climate change and climate adaptation. This public event is open to anyone interested and combines current research from Jena and the surrounding region with film screenings and discussions.

Climate change is already altering natural ecosystems and presenting cities, municipalities, and society with the challenge of adapting to changing conditions. The Future Dialogue therefore brings together diverse scientific and societal perspectives. The program includes a poster exhibition on current research projects from Jena and the region, a screening of the documentary “Das Gewicht der Welt” and a panel discussion with experts.

A limited number of 150 free tickets are available for the film screening, so advance registration is required.

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.
