This one-day event was hosted at Sir Jules Thorn Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at Oxford University on the 11 May 2023.
This event, convened by Dr Shelley James brought together scientists, Residential Care providers, lighting designers and manufacturers to explore the common ground between these complementary perspectives. The core of the question: what are the ‘active ingredients’ in a lighting design solution that actively supports the sleep and related health outcomes of Residents and staff.
The day was structured in a series of sessions, each captured in a series of videos and transcripts. Please click on the links below to access the YouTube videos and downloadable pdf file with Keynote, Professor Russell Foster.

An ongoing series of online panel debates with leading voices from across the value chain for lighting to pose the question: what are the current drivers for decision makers? Could the potential for lighting to improve environmental, social and governance performance hold the key to driving the changes we all want to see?
A social media campaign for teens that has reached 2.5 million young people around the world to raise awareness of the impact of light on health and wellbeing.
A social media campaign and series of lectures and trade magazine articles that have reached over 15,000 professionals to raise awareness the business case for healthy lighting.
