With the new project “Imaginamics. Practices and Dynamics of Social Imagination”, another research initiative of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena has reached the final round of the Excellence Competition. The researchers can now submit a full proposal until mid-August.

In addition, the existing Cluster of Excellence “Balance of the Microverse” is also applying for further funding in the Excellence Strategy competition.

This is a great success for Jena as a science location and for the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Congratulations and continued success to everyone involved.

It’s a wrap for the Digital Summit 2023 in Jena!

In addition to the main programme, the “Fair of Digital Opportunities” invited the public to discover the topic of digitalization. There were more than 100 lectures, workshops and over 50 exhibits from institutions and initiatives, offering an exciting program for professionals, students and interested citizens. Around 2,000 visitors attended the five locations and were able to experience digitalization first hand.

At its well-attended stand, JenaVersum provided information on “Networked vision – digital and strategic solutions in the Jena science and business region”. The focus was on the networking meetings IT@JenaVersum and our Carl Zeiss Foundation JenaVersum II project in the field of research infrastructure: OpenIRIS. “The” JenaVersum as a galaxy with planets full of research and innovation was created over the two days on an area of 2×3 m.

The Digital Summit was a great opportunity for our location – we are proud that we performed so well together!
