DIES LEGENDI 2022

DIES LEGENDI is an established space for exchange about the academic teaching at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. As in previous years, the teaching prizes will be ceremoniously awarded at the DIES LEGENDI and the award-winning teaching concepts will be presented. In addition, the teaching projects funded at the University of Jena will be presented.

This year, the focus will be on aspects of science communication and science criticism. Under the slogan "Nothing is certain, everything is in motion", the expert panel of the Academy for Teaching Development invites you to discuss the questions:

How can university teaching contribute to strengthening trust in science?
How can science be taught in such a way that students themselves can introduce scientific findings into social controversies?
What competences are necessary to be able to justify and assert one's own subject discipline?

These questions will be addressed in a keynote speech, a science slam and in a panel discussion with audience participation.

Registration de (only available in german) was possible until 21 November 2022, 15:00.

The DIES LEGENDI 2022 will take place on 22.11.2022 from 12:00 to 17:00 in the Rose Halls. All teachers and students are cordially invited to attend. (It is dies academicus for the duration of the event, so all regular courses will be cancelled.).
