Today i have been anounced by +decor light about one new project that is coming.A project that talks about the importance of the light in the world.At first i was preety lost couse i am not really into electric stuffs, but going throw theyr pages an reading the articles, i am aware now that for me as a human this subject is verry important , is somthing we depend on, and especially as a designer i need to be aware of the important thing when i choose an iluminating sistem or anything that has to do with it.

Please be aware of the importance of the light and also if u like the post dont forget to share it .
On 20 December 2013, The United Nations (UN) General Assembly 68th Session proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015).
This International Year has been the initiative of a large consortium of scientific bodies together with UNESCO, and will bring together many different stakeholders including scientific societies and unions, educational institutions, technology platforms, non-profit organizations and private sector partners.
In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the United Nations has recognized the importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society.

An International Year of Light is a tremendous opportunity to ensure that international policymakers and stakeholders are made aware of the problem-solving potential of light technology. We now have a unique opportunity to raise global awareness of this.John Dudley, Chairman of the IYL 2015 Steering Committee
FAQ- The International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies (IYL 2015) 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.
The goal of IYL 2015 is to highlight to the citizens of the world the importance of light and optical technologies in their lives, for their futures and for the development of society.
IYL 2015 programs will promote improved public and political understanding of the central role of light in the modern world while also celebrating noteworthy anniversaries in 2015—from the first studies of optics 1,000 years ago to discoveries in optical communications that power the Internet today.
The IYL Global Secretariat is located at the International Centre of Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy.
IYL 2015 is endorsed by a number of international scientific unions and the International Council of Science, and has more than 100 partners from more than 85 countries. Founding Scientific Sponsors of IYL 2015 are the American Physical Society (APS); The American Institute of Physics (AIP); the European Physical Society (EPS); the IEEE Photonics Society (IPS); SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics; the Lightsources.org International Network; the Institute of Physics (IOP); and The Optical Society (OSA).
The IYL 2015 opening ceremonies already started in 19-20 January 2015 in Paris.
In the link below u can see the program of the ceremonies that are coming this year and there aew alot of programs in almost every country so check in the list and se for yourself all the programs they are offering.
