In dialogue for an open and active society

At the OpenFORUM Jena (MitmachFORUM Jena), the university and the city are breaking new ground: together with the city's citizens, we are testing concepts for more dialogue between research, politics, administration and society in exciting events. Our goal for 2025: new ideas for a healthy and sustainable city in which all Jena residents enjoy living. The OpenFORUM invites everyone to contribute their knowledge. After its completion, the new FORUM of the University of Jena in the middle of the city will continue this diverse exchange in the long term as an open communication centre.
The OpenFORUM is entering its next phase: following a successful launch in January, the University and City are continuing their successful cooperation to promote more intensive dialogue between science and society. The Ernst Abbe Library will be strengthened as a venue. On 17 November 2025, President Prof. Dr. Andreas Marx and Mayor Dr. Thomas Nitzsche signed the corresponding cooperation agreement.
