- Measurement of natural illumination</div>
<div class="">- Perception of light and colour<br class="">
- Effects of light on human physiology<br class="">
- Understanding colour, light, illumination<br class="">
<br class="">
This residential summer school combines lectures, practical workshops, an excursion and a student-led research project. The summer school is open to students at all levels, researchers and practitioners from all disciplines interested in measuring natural illumination.<br class="">
<br class="">
To apply, please complete the application form detailing educational background, motivation and a sketch of a short research project to be completed during the summer school by the application deadline (28 February 2020).<br class="">
