The Long Night of the Sciences has been taking place in Jena since 2005. Every two years, with the exception of the corona pandemic years, numerous scientific facilities and institutes, companies and clinics open their doors for a long evening and show guests what is otherwise closed behind their doors - close to the public and versatile, in order to show science in a tangible, exciting and interesting way.
