[Manuel Spitschan]

Dear colleagues,

 

The below event may be of interest to you and your interest, as light exposure and more broadly visual experience is emerging as an environmental determinant of visual and ocular health.

 

 

A Day in Daylight: Light exposure around the world

Monday, 3 November 2025 1700-1830 CET via Zoom

 

On 22 September 2025 – the equinox, when day and night are nearly equal all around the globe – more than 50 people collected light exposure data from dateline to dateline, with participants from across the globe, including Ghana, Costa Rica, Australia, Turkey, Norway, Germany, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and many more.

 

Join us as we explore this unique global dataset: discover how light exposure differs across regions and uncover the factors that shape it.

 

In this panel discussion, contributors will share their experiences and provide insights into how they encounter and engage with daylight in their daily lives.
