Light Symposium in Wismar
The international Light Symposium, organized by the University of Wismar, took place from 5. – 8. November, 2008 and included the PLDA Vox Juventa conference for young Lighting Designers and the accompanying PLDA Unis.net Lighting Quiz.
The six speakers at this year‘s Vox Juventa conference were Sylwia Schafranietz/D, Diego Manuel Canca Obispo/E, Petros Dermatas/GR, Paula Rainha/UK, Ulrike Schulz/D and Elinor Coombs/UK.
A jury of experts awarded Petros Dermatas the prize as the Best Speaker for his paper “The history of artificial light and the inherent sociopolitical aspects in Western civilization”.
Afterwards, two universities challenged each other in the entertaining Unis.net quiz: KTH from Stockholm and Hochschule Wismar. The team from Hochschule Wismar (Tatjana Zamyatina, Maarten Claes and Ferry Gunawan) won the quiz and were awarded 1,000 euros for their university.
We thank all participants for their valuable contribution and congratulate Petros Dermatas and Hochschule Wismar on their success at the Light Symposium!
