*Dear Supporters of the International Day of Light,*
It is my great pleasure to write this first newsletter announcing the plans
for the International Day of Light in 2019 (IDL2019). I would also like to
thank you all once again for making the inaugural edition in 2018 such a
success. Thanks to your support and commitment, over 640 events took place
worldwide in more than 80 countries, kicked off by a spectacular
inauguration at UNESCO headquarters in Paris. If you wish to revisit the
Paris event in particular, you can see some events photos on the UNESCO
Flickr page

and
some of the talks are also available on the official International Day of
Light YouTube channel.

As I write this, light science and technology has again been recognized at
the highest level with the award of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics, and
the International Day of Light community joins in offering sincere
congratulations to Professors Ashkin, Mourou and Strickland for their
pioneering contributions to light science. For the celebration of the
International Day of Light in 2019, events focusing on all aspects of light
science and applications will again be supported. From the many ways that
light drives basic science to the importance of photonic technologies to
sustainable development, activities at all levels and for all ages are
strongly encouraged.
In collaboration with UNESCO, there will be a special focus for 2019 on the
use of light science as a means of stimulating education in science and
engineering, especially in developing countries. This theme will be
called *Illuminating
Education *and will be the subject of a special one-day conference held at
the UNESCO Category I Institute ICTP in Trieste, Italy on the 16 May
2019. This event will see ICTP Dirac Medallist and Distinguished Visiting
Fellow Sir Michael Berry deliver a Plenary Lecture on Light in Nature,
followed by thematic sessions covering areas of education,
entrepreneurship, career development for young researchers, and the use of
light as a lever for sustainable development.
Special international Day of Light activities will also be part of the
Education and Training in Optics (ETOP) conference that will take place in
Quebec, Canada from 21-24 May 2019. Many other partners are actively
preparing their own events for 2019, and please register your event for
inclusion in the official International Day of Light2019 calendar (more
information below). Please note that International Day of Light events do
not have to be restricted to the 16 May itself, andif you already have
details about events you are going to organize, please enter the details on
www.lightday.org

so
we can publicize it immediately.
We are grateful to the many partners who have already committed to
sponsorship of the International Day of Light2019, and we would like to
welcome all interested new partners and sponsors who wish to help our goals
in 2019. In particular, we are seeking sponsor support to bring as many
attendees as we can from developing countries and regions to attend the
UNESCO-ICTP event on 16 May 2019 in Italy. See below for the sponsorship
levels available with differing benefitsand please contact the
International Day of Light Secretariat for any enquiry.
You may also be interested to learn that 2019 is the UN International Year
of the Periodic Table of the Elements. So there are possibilities to
consider events or speakers on topics that combine the themes of the
“elements” with the many themes of light. See here
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=97552a431f&e=773971c1ea>
for
more details. 2019 is a busy year for science outreach as it is also the
100th anniversary of the International Astronomical Union who are holding a
worldwide celebration with many activities that you may wish to link with,
either for IDL2019 or in the context of other activities. See the IAU 100
website for more details.
Finally, we have also renamed our different social media channels to
reflect the transition to the International Day of Light 2019. Please
