- Funded! An introduction to story telling for
researchers
Many scientific innovations fail not because the
science isn't right but because they don't get the
necessary attention, and thus funding. Why is it so
hard to pitch science? And what does it take to
create an irresistible fundraising story? The Jena
Alliance Life in Focus kindly invites you to the
online lecture "Funded!
An introduction to story telling for researchers"
by Dr. Guiseppe Marzio on November 30, 11 to 11:30
am.
- Startup Safari
On 20 November, the Jena "Startup Safari" took
place. At this event, Jena startups present
themselves and their ideas. The video recording of
the "Safari" can also be viewed after the event, on
the YouTube
channel of the organising institution JenaDigital.
It provides an interesting insight into the Jena
start-up culture. The language of the presentations
is German.
- Online dissertation and habilitation award
ceremony
The dissertation and habilitation awards of the
Friedrich Schiller University of Jena are usually
awarded during the festive ceremony on Schiller Day.
Unfortunately, this year's ceremony could not take
place. Therefore, the doctoral awards were given in
an online format on 30 October (see screenshot
above). You can watch the video recording of the
ceremony here
(in German).

- The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet
and Society is now offering a new blog about science
called „Elephant
in the Lab“. It addresses (as they put
it) „those problems in science that everyone sees
but nobody talks about: The journal system, the
idiocy of authorship, citation cartels, career
chances for young or female researchers.“ The blog
is in English.
- The Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences offers a
special topic page on gender-related and
sexualised violence in academia. On the website,
you will find an overview of the international
research literature, survey studies, guidelines for
science, and much more. The linked texts and studies
are primarily in English. If you are affected by
violence and sexual harassment at Jena University,
please contact the Equal
Opportunities Office or the Legal
Office directly.
