The University of Jena's Health Week will take place from May 22 to 26, 2023 - in cooperation with the EC2U Forum and the Summer School "Healthy Campus" ("Community of ActionExternal link"). Exciting content and diverse formats around health are planned - for employees and students of the University of Jena.

Over the course of five days, we will offer an extensive range of lectures, workshops, exercise offerings, check-ups and health-related activities. The main program points are spread over Monday to Thursday. Each day will focus on a specific topic, with Monday and Tuesday focusing more on people, and Wednesday and Thursday more on the context, in line with the motto: Healthy people in a healthy environment!

  • Monday: Healthy exercise and nutrition
  • Tuesday: Healthy psyche and mindfulness (+ diversity day in the foyer)
  • Wednesday: Healthy Organization | Healthy Uni Jena
  • Thursday: Healthy Infrastructure | Ergonomics
  • Friday: Conclusion and impressions
Information

We look forward to your participation in the offers, exhibitions and actions from Monday to Friday. Since the health of its employees is important to the University of Jena, a maximum of five hours of participation will be recognized as working time for each employee during the health week.

Notice

During Community of Action Week (or Health Week), photographs and films will be taken by outside media and for University public relations. If you do not wish to be pictured, please tell the photographers and cameramen.
