This unique international workshop aims to bring together researchers from the areas of photonic device physics and engineering, lighting technology and design, circadian and sleep research, physiology and psychobiology. We will have the opportunity to discuss current state of the art research challenges in lighting design in general and also more specifically in terms of the effect of artificial light on human health and performance. This should lead to a better understanding of the properties of modern lighting required for health but also how challenges and opportunities in lighting design for varied applications can be met through interdisciplinary research.
