Jena is a hotspot for excellent research and state-of-the-art infrastructure. The universities and research institutions in Jena are excellently equipped. Sharing this infrastructure promotes cross-disciplinary synergies and interdisciplinary cooperation and enables resources to be used sparingly.

Coordinated use of the research infrastructure requires the agreement of all partners and a platform to make available equipment and conditions of use accessible. JenaVersum has piloted the open source platform OpenIRIS, funded by the Carl Zeiss Foundation, for this purpose. This provides an overview of the research infrastructures in the network, displays terms of use transparently and allows bookings to be made. Over 100 devices have been recorded so far!
