Image: Jürgen Scheere (University of Jena) - The "Innovation Methods in Photonics" course at Friedrich Schiller University Jena has been recognised for successfully combining theory and practice, winning the University's 2022 Teaching Award for the best course. The University's Academy for Teaching Development honoured the organisational trio of Sabine Best, Johannes Kretzschmar and David Zakoth with the award, which comes with prize money of 2,500 euros, provided by Sparkassenstiftung Jena-Saale-Holzlandkreis, and will be presented during the " Dies Legendi " awards ceremony on 22 November 2022. The jury emphasises that the course, which is offered within the "Photonics" Master's programme of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at the Abbe School of Photonics, is particularly successful in promoting scientific work, while at the same time ensuring strong practical relevance for the students through close cooperation with regional companies and research institutes. " The course is not purely about photonics. Instead, the students receive knowledge from a wide variety of disciplines, " says David Zakoth. " The aim of the course is for students to learn to understand innovation processes in photonics companies and to drive them forward themselves.
