Social engagement
How the University of Jena connects with schools and citizens
View from above: People on the Ernst-Abbe-Platz campus
Not only in times of "fake news" and "alternative facts" does the University of Jena feel obliged to inform, to consolidate scientific understanding in society and to intervene in current discourses with professional competence. Researchers provide a basis for social discussions through scientific facts. Current research flows into the classroom through a variety of offers at schools. They also provide insights into everyday research as do citizen science projects that directly involve citizens in scientific work.
