Get
involved
- In June, the new doctoral council of
University of Jena, known as DR.FSU, was elected.
The council represents the interests of all doctoral
researchers at the University of Jena. The constituent
meeting of the new council will take place on
06 October at 18.00h in the Kleiner Rosensaal
(Fürstengraben 27). All interested parties are
cordially invited. Due to corona, a preregistration
is required (dr.fsu@uni-jena.de).
Further information can be found on the new
DR.FSU website.
- The hashtag #IchbinHanna
was used this summer to discuss the working
conditions of doctoral researchers and postdocs in
academia. The discussion was triggered by a video
from 2018 in which the federal ministry for
education has explained why fixed-term contracts
were necessary in academia. In response, many
researchers described their insecure personal
employment situation on Twitter. The discussion has
(fortunately) not yet died down: At an online forum
of the Joachim Herz Foundation on 1 November, for
example, the debate will continue. You can register
for it now.
- For doctoral researchers with disabilities,
with chronic physical or mental illnesses, the
project "PROMI – Promotion inklusive" offers
detailed information and the opportunity to network.
A digital, public network meeting of the
project will take place on 8 October from 09:00 to
13:30. The language of the meeting will be German.
The programme and the possibility to register can be
found on this
website. On the website
of the Graduate Academy you will also find some
information on the topic of doing a doctorate with a
disability.

- On the new online platform eDOCation,
young researchers can offer further education
seminars for companies. By doing so, they can
establish contacts with companies, check the
applicability of their own research and earn money
with their knowledge at the same time.
- Ten years ago, the so-called "National
Socialist Underground" was detected. The three
members had murdered nine migrants between 2000 and
2007. This right-wing terrorist organisation emerged
in Jena. Therefore, the city commemorates the
victims and wants to look into the historical roots
in the event
series "Kein Schlussstrich" (the image
above is the cover illustration of the series).
- On 6 October at 3 pm, a new traveling exhibition
will be opened in a container located on the area
behind the Johannistor. The exhibition tells the
fate of ten former concentration camp prisoners in
German, English and Polish language. Following the
opening, there will be a panel discussion in the
auditorium at 4 p.m. on the topic of "Combating
Anti-Semitism", which will look at today's
challenges in dealing with anti-Semitism.

Latest
News from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena
- Since the summer, the University of Jena has a Green
Office. Its purpose is to further develop the
sustainability strategy of the University of Jena,
to provide innovative ideas and to network.
Initiated by the Green Office, the university
administration, for example, will use the search
engine Ecosia instead of Google in the future. If
you have ideas on how the university can become more
sustainable, you can contact the Green
Office.
- Not just Germany is saying goodbye to a
chancellor, the University of Jena has also said
goodbye to a chancellor: After 14 years as
Chancellor, Dr Klaus Bartholmé is retiring
at the end of September. As Chancellor, he managed
the finances and administration of the University of
Jena. On 21 September, the University bid him
farewell with a hybrid
ceremony. As a leaving present, he received a
SUP board (see picture), as this sport – like the
job of a chancellor – is also a balancing act.
- The university will open a new campus for life
sciences in the city centre. For this purpose,
it has obtained the rights of use of the so-called Bachstrasse
site from the state of Thuringia. The 39,000
square metre site was previously home to several
institutes of the university hospital. The
relocation of the hospital to Lobeda will free up
the entire area. The new campus will be used for
life science research, for example to develop new
drugs, biodiversity or healthy nutrition.
- Friedrich Schiller University Jena has adopted a new
guideline on how the university should
be named in scientific publications. This had become
necessary as the spelling of the university often
varies. The standardised university title is
now: Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena (German)
and Friedrich Schiller University Jena (English).
