Aside from several institutes of the two universities, such renowned institutions like the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute and the Max-Planck-Institute for Economics belong to Jena’s research facilities.

Among other issues, the latter conducts research about the evolution economics and entrepreneurial behavior. Embedded in a park-like estate, this institute offers excellent office and workshop space and accommodation capacities for guest researchers.

Visitors have described both the open atmosphere and the international orientation of the scientific institutions in Jena as very pleasant again and again. In addition, the proximity of the numerous institutes to one another is most advantageous. Jena makes it possible for visitors to encounter science by “easy walking” and get to know several research facilities with a worldwide reputation in only one afternoon.
