Foundation supports Long Night of Science Jena as main sponsor

Founded in 1889 by the scientist and entrepreneur Prof. Dr. Ernst Abbe, the Carl Zeiss Foundation is today one of the largest and oldest science-promoting foundations in Germany. It promotes research and teaching in the STEM sciences with a particular focus on artificial intelligence, resource efficiency and life science technologies. Its funded projects answer questions of scientific, economic and social relevance. She is also passionate about communicating science to society. She feels particularly close to her founding city of Jena.

We are therefore delighted that the Carl Zeiss Foundation is providing special support for the Long Night of Science in Jena 2024. We and the many shining eyes of the happy visitors thank the foundation for this.
