In August 2022, the Daylight Academy Interdisciplinary Summer School “Measuring Light and Illumination” brought together a diverse group of students and lecturers to learn about measuring light and its effects on human health. Located in Chexbres, Switzerland, with a stunning view of Lake Geneva, the school drew inspiration from the cyanometer – an 18th-century instrument used to measure the colour of the sky by visual inspection. The location in Switzerland reflects where de Saussure used his instrument: On his tours onto Mont Blanc.
The participants have created a booklet summarising the experiences and learnings of the students and lecturers who took part in these five enlightening days. The number of booklets is limited, and will be sent on a first come, first serve basis. The order is free of charge.
