On November 22, 2024, the Long Night of ScienceExternal link will take place in Jena, starting at 6 PM. In the foyer of the campus at Carl-Zeiß-Straße 3, zedif and its partners will present interactive offerings on the topics of research data and software, artificial intelligence and scientific computing. The zedif is joined by the Thuringian Competence Network Research Data ManagementExternal link (TKFDM), the Data Literacy Project Jena (DaLiJe), and the Thuringian Centre for Learning Systems and RoboticsExternal link (TZLR, German only).

Collage: Eckhard KadaschZedif and the TKFDM will show you in a playful way what (research) data management is all about: Try the prize wheel, build with Lego bricks, and read terrifying horror storiesExternal link. We also present some of our consulting cases, illustrating how zedif collaboratesExternal link with researchers at the university. With TinyDraco, we have a supercomputer in miniature formatExternal link with us. It runs an interactive fluid simulation, which demonstrates how such high-performance computers work.
At the Data Literacy Project booth, you can sharpen your data skillsExternal link with the help of sweets and test your knowledge in a data quizExternal link.
The TZLR booth will explore what is behind the much discussed topics of machine learning and artificial intelligence. You can take a look inside an artificial neural networkExternal link while teaching the machine to read and distinguish handwritten numbers.
