Research

ENLIGHTENme aims to produce inter-disciplinary research that links the multiple interconnected impacts of lighting and builds a rich evidence base for public policy and lighting guidelines. This includes both, large-scale studies of the impact of lighting parameters on wellbeing and participatory social research and co-design in the same three cities, allowing for the development, testing and researching of innovative indoor and outdoor lighting interventions. Both lighting research and innovations can be translated into guidelines for addressing age-related urban lighting issues in a coherent and evidence-based manner. Therefore, ENLIGHTENme aims at connecting lighting policy, technological innovation and their potential consequences on the citizens’ health and wellbeing, thus contributing to the development of smart city policies, by improving its physical and social environments.
