The courses on offer focus on the fields of technology, business, social sciences and health and are characterized by a high degree of practical relevance. The university offers a lively and cosmopolitan campus with technically well-equipped laboratories as well as excellent support during your studies.
The following projects will be represented at the Campus Area:
- Project Nucleus Jena
We want to make the research-based transfer of ideas, knowledge and technology more efficient as a key prerequisite for successful and results-oriented innovation processes in Jena and the East Thuringia region and thus actively contribute to tackling economic, ecological and social issues of the future as well as current transformation processes. We work openly and strengthen the transfer between science, entrepreneurship and society. - Model factory “3D printing, individualized production and digital working environments”
- Exhibits from the SciTec-Precision-Optics-Materials department of the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena
- Production Engineering and Automation Group (Prof. J. Bliedtner):
The Production Engineering and Automation working group of the SciTec – Precision, Optics, Materials, Environment department at the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena has many years of experience in the fields of optical technologies, laser material processing and additive manufacturing processes. - AG Applied Optics (Prof. R. Brunner)
- TOOLS – DFG-funded project of the EAH Jena
- The Startup Lab of the EAH Jena introduces itself: as an offer for students at the EAH, it supports the entrepreneurial development of students and promotes the implementation of innovative ideas (implementation in prototypes, realization of product tests, development of concrete business models). – Examples are presented on site.
- ZAKI: The ZAKI introduces itself and is looking for interested companies for projects in the field of AI application
