Thank you to everyone who celebrated the opening of the Microverse Center Jena with us on 5 October! 💙 A special thanks to our team, partners and supporters for making this milestone possible.
Relive the celebration & take a peek inside our new research centre in our aftermovie ! 🎬 (@uni-jena.de)
Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence @microverse.bsky.social at #UniJena, @hhu.de, the University of Delaware and @idiv-research.bsky.social analysed the hidden potential in the genomes of peatland bacteria.
Small wonders, big curiosity! 🔬🐭 65 young researchers explored our new #MicroverseCenterJena with #VR, microscopes and glowing bacteria at #TürenAufMitDerMaus. Thank you for your questions and enthusiasm! Excellent research opens doors – for curious minds of all ages.
Today, #UniJena has opened the Microverse Center Jena. The new building provides around 5,000 square metres for interdisciplinary microbiome research in the Cluster of Excellence @microverse.bsky.social.
Die #UniJena erhält den Status einer Exzellenzuniversität! Die Exzellenzkommission hat den Antrag „Light. Life. Liberty. – Connecting People and Ideas“ am heutigen 2.Oktober positiv entschieden. 🥳
