Light2015 - the International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies
The Swedish www site for the International Year of Light 2015 is http://ljus2015.se. In addition there is a Facebook page and we tweet on #ljus2015 as well as on #IYL2015.
The broad range of topics, as presented on light2015.org brings together a large number of actors from all over Sweden, and with different backgrounds and topical focus. We have had a couple of joint meetings to increase mutual awareness, and share networks, ideas, activities and materials.
Planned activities can be found in the calendar.
We have also agreed to have montly themes, as outlined below, to collect and produce materials for schools and for the general public.
Please feel free to contact us for more information about the International Year of Light in Sweden.
