And if you are slightly nostalgic of the positive atmosphere that prevailed in Lüneburg, the photo gallery, which is now available on the > Leuphana University website, may bring you back some good memories.

Officially launched one year ago, the Daylight Academy aims to promote international, inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation among scientists, architects and other professionals within daylight research or with a strong interest in daylight related topics. The platform is a spin-off of the > Velux Stiftung and wants to strengthen daylight research and its applications for the benefit of humanity and nature. A first publication with the title > Changing perspectives on daylight: Science, technology, and culture has just been published as a supplement to the > Science Magazine.
