5 The first CIE Expert Symposium in this Series, entitled Light and Health was held in Vienna, Austria, 29 September 1 October 2004, and its emphasis was centered on the results of unfolding research on the effects of light upon the neuro-endocrine system and ultraviolet radiation effects upon the skin and eyes. The emphasis of the 2 nd Expert Symposium is upon practical implications for lighting from new research findings. Preliminary Programme Two-Day Expert Symposium Thursday, 7 September: Friday, 8 September: Sessions on Fundamentals: Biological Basis and Applications Effects upon Healthy People: Fundamentals and Applications Sessions on Medical and Clinical Lighting Therapy: Fundamentals and Applications Applications in Lighting - General Discussion Purpose of the Symposium: This symposium is aimed to bring together experts from the health research and the lighting communities in order to examine proposals regarding optimal lighting parameters to enhance health. A specific aim is to define the ranges of daily doses of light and ultraviolet radiant energy that are physiologically optimum. The Symposium will examine the impact of spectrum and spectra; variations, optimal profiles of light exposure variations, constraints regarding flickering, and recommendations for potential changes as a function of time of the day, season, climate, work conditions. The sessions are organized to present new health information where the basic scientists will be asked to speculate on the impact of their research to the indoor lighted environment. At least one-third of the time will be devoted to discussion of the possible consequences for different lighting scenarios, lamp and luminaire specifications. The panel discussion will be triggered by a featured speaker in each session. Support for the symposium is expected from the lighting industry, watch the website for announcements. 3

6 Symposium Sessions Preliminary Programme Thursday, 7 September 2006: Session 1 - Introduction and Fundamentals Session 1a - Fundamentals - Biological Basis Registration Opening Remarks Sliney, D., Fontoynont, M. Non-Visual Photoreception of Light Brainard, G. Circadian Rhythms and Other Brain Functions Lockley, S. Session 1b - Fundamentals - Applications Lunch Break Session 2 - Effects upon Healthy People Session 2a - Healthy People - Fundamentals [Healthy people experience fatigue and stress, and reduced alertness after long periods spent indoors under artificial lighting. Shift workers experience extra stress and sleep disorders. Travelers experience jetlag with an adverse impact upon sleep and alertness. Can indoor lighting conditions contribute to reducing negative effects?] Ultraviolet Benefits and Risks - The Evolving Debate Webb, A. Effects of Dim and Bright Work Environments on Retinal/Circadian Functions Dumont, M. Light at Night - Cancer Risks of Shift Work Blask, D. Session 2b - Healthy People - Applications Shift Work and Jet-Lag Adaptation Coffee Break Beyond blue light: Can the non-visual effects of light be optimized by dynamically manipulating wavelengths of light? Cooper, H., Gronfier, C. Implications of Lighting for Health vs. Well-Being Veitch, J. Dynamic Lighting - Both in Level and Colour Closing Remarks Coffee Break Implications for Lighting - What do we know? Boyce, P. Measurement Implications Levin, R. Implications for Different Lighting Sources Rea, M. Summary and Relevant Posters - Discussion Newsham, G., Aries, M. Poster Session & Evening Reception Bommel, W.v. 4

7 Symposium Sessions Friday, 8 September 2006 Preliminary Programme Session 3: Medical and Clinical Lighting Therapy [Lighting conditions may reduce suffering, and even reduce the illness itself. This session will explore the various pathologies that may respond to light and examine ways to treat patients through a well adapted luminous environment, or by supplying carefully prescribed light exposures.] Session 3a - Fundamentals - Medical / Clinical Lighting Therapy The Potential for Treating Sleep Disorders Skene, D. Alzheimer Patient Care Figueiro, M. Seasonal Mood Disorders Light and Development Disorders Coffee Break Session 3b - Applications - Medical / Clinical Lighting Therapy Studying Comotose Patients with Light Applied Lighting for the Elderly Noel, E. Lighting in Nursing Homes Miller, N. Flicker Sensitivity, A New Understanding New Implications of Luminaires Dehoff, P. Discussion and Relevant Posters Lunch Break Session 4: Applications in Lighting - General Discussion Implications for international collaboration: Road maps for Divisions 3 and 6 Implications for Lighting at Night McGowan, T. Implications for Lighting in the Day Panel Discussion on Implications for Division 3 Panel Discussion on Implications for Division 6 - What Research is Needed to Answer Practical Questions of Photobiology? Closing Remarks chaired by: Fontoynont, M. chaired by: Webb, A. 5
