Presentation of Lighting Metropolis by Niels Carsten Bluhme

Lighting Metropolis is transforming the region into a living lab for lighting with innovative solutions for citizens and major smart lighting demo sites. Universities are collaborating closely with cities and companies. You can gain deeper insight by visiting new solutions in the region and meeting the local experts.  
09.30–10.15

Keynote Florence Lam – Lighting for Humanity

Light is fundamental to humanity – from securing safety and resilience and enabling equality to facilitating social interaction and achieving prosperity. Florence’s keynote will offer perspective on how lighting technology and design solutions may contribute to achieving resilience and sustainability. 
10.15–10.45 Coffee break
10.45–11.30

Biological Lighting – effects on health and wellbeing by Ellen Kathrine Hansen, Åsa Moum & Kristina Aggergaard

We know the effect that daylight has on humans. Human-centric lighting systems use LED technology and intelligent lighting control systems to match light characteristics that map to humans’ natural circadian rhythms. The intent of these systems is to enhance productivity and performance and to address the psychological and physiological problems that are created by disruptions to our circadian clock. While circadian rhythms are built into the human body, they adapt to the environment using external cues – these cues are primarily daylight.  
We will hear about human-centric lighting in general, as well as the results from testing human–centric lighting in elderly care, at a school, a hospital’s neonatal department and a psychiatric center for patients suffering from eating disorders.  
11.30–12.00

Keynote Joachim Ritter – Who changed the market? An attempt to gain a perspective of what the future holds for a lighting design specialist

What is the future going to look like for those who design lighting – and in fact for the lighting design market as a whole? That is the big question, the answer to which can only be found by taking a “slowly but surely” approach. Change is an ongoing process and the status quo is nothing more than a moment in time. What is causing the current changes we are witnessing, and what experience are the designers gaining, as a result of change? One thing is for sure: we are on the threshold of dramatic changes in our society. And there is no blueprint in place to show us how to deal with the situation. 
12.00–13.30 Lunch
13.30–14.45

Interactive and safety lighting in public spaces by Johan Ib Hansen, Sara Kralmark, Susanna Sonesson, Simon Panduro & Sune Schøning

The urban landscape is changing and so must the lighting solutions to keep up. We hope to inspire you all to work with new innovative and interactive light in public spaces. It is all about making people feel part of their city and to let them have fun and share your vision.

School crossing: The project Svebølle uses light to connect the school and its activities with the main street of the village. The project is developed together with local businesses and includes data collection, controllable light and interactive installations – used for teaching natural science and mathematics

Brighter Brunnshög place branding: Light installations that are self-sufficient energy-wise and encourage visitors to interact and do physical training are a way to draw attention and give identity to a new city district, Brunnshög, in Lund

Green alley: To go from A to B sounds easy but sometimes inspirations are needed to get people to use a bike instead of a car or to use a bike helmet etc. With light you can make these choices more natural and appealing.

Musicon path: Light in Roskilde that can be changed to make people slow down or even take a detour and that responds to the users and the surroundings. Inspired by the machine industry and hoping to promote bicycling

The ZOOper bicycle path: With light and smart technology, we can encourage people to develop new habits in a fun way. It works better than exhortations – for children and adults. In Egedal they worked with the local students for a healthy, safe and fun way to school – while reminding them of using the bicycle helmet
14.45–15.15 Coffee break
15.15–16.00

Keynote Sandra Rey – The future of lighting. What if nature had the solution?

Electrical lighting is responsible for 1.7 billion tons of CO2 every year and 15 percent of global electricity consumption. Meanwhile, more than 80 percent of humans are affected by light  pollution.  Nature has undertaken 3.8 billion years of R&D to find the most sustainable solutions. Bioluminescent animals might have the sustainable lighting solution we’ve so far overlooked. What if we could grow our own light?  
16.00 –16.10 End of sessions

New Research in Lighting by Maria Johansson & Hillevi Hemphälä

Outdoor lighting should support visual accessibility, mobility and perceived safety to provide pedestrian-friendly urban environments. The visual environment indoor is essential for our performance. Insufficient light levels can make it hard to read and too much glary light sources can cause headache and eyestrain. This presentation introduces tools to evaluate the visual environment, both indoor and outdoor on new energy-efficient lighting applications.

 

Afternoon parallel sessions 
13.30–14.10

The lighting revolution in Greater Copenhagen – Research and Education by Michael Mullins

A presentation of a selection of initiatives and experiences that help us improve how we use and perceive light in our daily lives.

Round table talks – Artificial intelligence and disruptive light technologiies in future smart cities 


Moderator: Niklas Madsen

#6 Living lab tour – Indoor Lighting

Lighting for the office, canteen and the neonatal unit

13.30 – 16.30
14.10 –14.45

Public private innovation – A new way of making innovative lighting solutions for the citizens by Jacob Lundgaard & Joakim Nelson

Innovation is making a real impact on the lighting industry’s traditional demand-supply chain and its traditional roles. Municipalities are expected to engage in the creative process, while manufacturers are asked to become more open. This paradigm shift requires a radical rethinking of roles and responsibilities. This session presents two proven formulas for accelerating innovation.  
14.45–15.15 Coffee break
15.15 –15.45

Light and Design – The concept of lighting events by Catja Thystrup & Josette Dahlin

The growing number of lighting events around the world shows the power of light to inspire and transform the urban spaces around us. Two of Greater Copenhagen’s biggest light events; Dreamlight in Helsingborg and its latest incarnation, Copenhagen Light Festival, offer different takes and perspectives on how light installations and events can increase our cities’ liveability. 

Round table talk – with Mark Major

You are invited to participate in a round table talk moderated by Mark Major. Mr. Major will hold a short presentation about a topic
defined by him and after that there will be a creative discussion about the presented topic. The form will be in a room with access to the public given listeners accessibility to partake as bystanders. The participants will be seated on eight seats in the middle of a room with mr. Major first addressing the room standing and then seated as the ninth person around the table. He will here moderate the discussion and share his vast experience working with light.
