DIES LEGENDI - Teaching Day

All members of the university who want to deal with innovative teaching and discourses in teaching.

The DIES LEGENDI - Day of Teaching is an outstanding event in the academic year at the University of Jena and places teaching at the center of attention. As an inspiring platform for exchange, innovation and further development, this day contributes significantly to the continuous improvement of teaching quality.
A festive highlight of the day is the presentation of the teaching awards, which recognize outstanding teaching concepts and extraordinary commitment to teaching. Teachers are honored for their special commitment to shaping teaching at the University of Jena. In addition, current teaching projects will provide inspiring insights into creative approaches and future-oriented learning environments in a poster session.

For the duration of the event, all regular courses are canceled (dies academicus) so that all teachers and students can actively participate in the DIES LEGENDI - Teaching Day.
