Opening ceremony of the International Year of Light 2015 in Spain
The International Year of Light (IYL2015) is a world-wide initiative endorsed by UNESCO with the aim of communicating to society as a whole the importance of light and light-based technologies in today’s world, in such important areas as energy, health, communication, education and agriculture.
After the ceremony held in Paris on 19-20 January, the official opening in Spain will take place on 16 February 2015 at 19.00 in the Poliorama Theatre, Barcelona. In this ceremony, which will be one of the starting points for a series of events taking place all over Spain during this year, three lecturers will offer their different viewpoints on the role and impact of light in our lives:
- Dr. Ignacio Cirac, director of the Theory division of the Max-Planck Institut für Quantenoptik (Germany).
- Dr. Caterina Biscari, director of the ALBA Synchrotron (Spain).
- Dr. Jeroni Nadal, coordinator of the Retina department and the macula unit at the Clínica Barraquer (Spain).
The event will be enlivened by a performance by the renowned cellist, Lluís Claret.
