DIES LEGENDI – Teaching Day, November 17. 2026, 12:00 p.m.
DIES LEGENDI – Teaching Day is the University of Jena’s flagship academic event, highlighting teaching as one of its core missions. The day provides a ceremonial setting for the presentation of teaching awards, as well as a platform for inspiration, exchange, and the collaborative advancement of academic programs and teaching.
In an increasingly complex world, it is becoming ever more important to connect different perspectives and develop innovative solutions to the challenges of tomorrow. Because of that we are exploring how interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration can enrich study and teaching under the theme “Connected Minds—Interdisciplinarity in Study and Teaching”. Lecturers, students, and anyone interested are cordially invited to get involved, share experiences, and work together to develop new ideas for networked teaching.
Regular classes will be canceled during the event from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (dies academicus) so that all lecturers and students can attend the event.
