Drinking water fountains in the campus building (Carl-Zeiß-Straße 3) are now available to all students and employees.

The SGM not only has the “Tap Water Friendly” award from the non-profit organization atip:tapExternal link, but also advocates for drinking water fountains at at least three pilot locations at the University of Jena. Our refil stations are located in the campus building (Carl-Zeiß-Straße 3) and in dining hall "Ernst-Abbe-Platz". Thanks to the refill stations, you can refill your water bottles again and again, don’t have to buy water at the supermarket and also do something good for the environment.

The German Nutrition Society e. V.External link recommends that adults drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day. Various factors such as sports, heat or illness can significantly increase the need!

Summer is coming and you find water too bland? How about an “Infused Water”. Whether lemon, cucumber or mint - vegetables, fruits and herbs give water a pleasant aroma. Simply pour fresh water over it, let it steep and enjoy. Our favorite for home office: fresh mint, lemon slices and ginger. Especially in stressful situations or when working with focus, we often forget to drink. Therefore we have created a short Drink What(ter)! checklist for you:

Drink What(ter)! Checklist

  • Put water within reach
  • Prepare daily amount
  • Drink regularly What(ter), also before and with meals
  • Are you on the go? Pack a drinking bottle!
