Jena is international because…
the city thrives on its fascinating combination of a historic and intellectual past, scenic charms, innovative and international research and economy, as well as a young student life. This rich diversity creates a unique backdrop, which bestows a particular charm on this lively and small "big city." This makes the town attractive for multifaceted cooperation with cities, institutions and firms abroad. Jena has four partner cities, and is furthermore a member of the association of European Napoleon cities and maintains tight contact to the city Vladimir in Russia.
