Creating the Digital Academy

The Digital Academy at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena aims to promote and accelerate the advances of digital research methods in all research areas of our university.
More specifically it wants to enable new data- and model-driven research approaches by bringing together digital methods, research infrastructures, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Following a series of workshops with researchers and staff members, we are pleased to share outcomes and invite all researchers of the university and its collaboration partners to a discussion of the results and provide insights into projects.

The event "Creating the Digital Academy - Perspectives & Reflections on Digital Research" offers the opportunity to network, exchange experiences, and actively help shape the digital future in research of the university.

Why attend?

• See the results from the workshops and contribute to shaping the future development of the Digital Academy.

• Share insights into your own digital work and engage with others on related topics.
• Network with colleagues across faculties and research areas.
• Learn about the wealth of digital research happening at FSU Jena and gain insights into projects across the university.
