Program Lausanne host to International Year of Light celebration

On December 5, EPFL hosted an event to promote the progress and promise of light technologies and research. The program marked the Closing Ceremony of the International Year of Light in Switzerland and featured the latest in photonics as well as leading scientists to promote improved public understanding of the central role of light in the modern world.

This celebration brought together bright minds from Google X, Bell Labs, Intel, Philips, Heptagon, UNESCO, Solar Impulse or IBM Research among other, as well as an ESA astronaut and a Nobel Laureate, to foster learning, inspiration and wonder. A laser show and performances will punctuate the ceremony specially hosted by The Catalyst's creative scientists. Don’t miss the surprise visible from space that day!

The International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies (IYL 2015; www.light2015.org) is a global initiative adopted by the United Nations to raise awareness of how optical technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to worldwide challenges in energy, education, agriculture, communications and health.
