How to reach Jena

Jena is centrally located in Germany, making it easily accessible from various locations across the country. You can fly into Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ), Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), Frankfurt Airport (FRA), or Munich Airport (MUC), all of which are about 1.5 to 4 hours away by train. From any of these airports, frequently train connections to Jena are available. The train stations (Jena West, Jena Paradies and Jena Saalbahnhof) are just a 15-minute walk to the venue and accommodations, or even faster with the local bus and tram.

The first application round was open from February 3 to March 31, 2025. While we had initially considered a second round, we realized after reviewing the outstanding applications by mid-April that demand far exceeded capacity — with more than three times as many applicants as available spots. Due to the high level of interest and the large number of excellent applications received, we have decided not to open an additional application round.
