On the 18th and 19th March, Stavanger will host the annual light conference City under Microscope. The conference is organized in collaboration with LUCI.
Registration is open.
Stavanger was supposed to be the host city in 2020, but last year's conference was postponed due to coronary pandemic. This year's conference will be digital.
Topics
The conference is a collaboration between the City of Stavanger and LUCI. LUCI is a network that facilitates sharing of experiences with outdoor lighting to find good solutions to challenges that cities around the world face.
The conference will also address topics such as smart technology and lighting in a Nordic context. Among other things, the speakers will talk about how to use light to motivate the inhabitants to be outdoors during the winter when it is dark most of the day.
Stavanger received the Norwegian light award in 2020. How Stavanger worked with the plan will be highlighted during the conference.
