The Winter School “Perspectives on Daylight”, organised together with the ETH Zurich, took place from 13 to 18 January 2019 on mount Rigi, close to Lucerne. For one week 30 international students from a variety of disciplines received inputs on daylight from 13 experts – including 10 Daylight Academy members – of different fields, namely environment, health, architecture and technology. Through dialogue with the experts, the participants deepened and interlinked the gained knowledge on the potential and effects of daylight and finally, engaged in small teams to create their own daylight related solutions for sustainable cities. The week proved to be a success and was very appreciated by the participants.
