Light Symposium Wismar 2020/21 moves online
(Germany) – The three-day event to take place on 10-12 March 2021.
The upcoming Light Symposium Wismar 2020/21 (LSW 2020/21), scheduled to take place on 10-12 March, has been moved online in a new, remote format via Microsoft Teams.
The symposium, rescheduled from 2020, is a three-day event that will aim to bring together the latest insights into the future of daylight and artificial lighting in healthy, built environments with respect to research, theory, technologies, design and applications.
An occasion for researchers, students and practitioners who wish to keep up-to-date with recent findings, the forum will look to deliver state-of-the-art discoveries and breakthroughs that explore how daylight and artificial light affect the mental and physical health of humans in natural and built environments.
The interdisciplinary structure of LSW 2020/21 promotes future oriented discussions on the importance of light and the lighting design profession.
The event will include 14 renowned speakers from fields such as architecture, lighting design, engineering and biology, as well as environmental and medical science. Experts from Germany, USA, Canada, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Sweden and the UK will present their talks in four different thematic tracks: Daylight Design Practice, Daylight Research and Related Aspects, Artificial Lighting Design Practice, Artificial Lighting Research and Related Aspects.
Confirmed keynote speakers for the event include neuroscientist Dr. George C. Brainard from Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University, and Speirs Major principal, Mark Major.
The current programme is as follows:
