Meet Us at the MDPI International Day of Light Webinar 2023, 16 May 2023

To commemorate the International Day of Light 2023, MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to come together, take action, and highlight how the exchange of findings facilitates efforts to raise awareness about the study of light.

The study of light has led to promising alternative energy sources, lifesaving medical advances in diagnostics technology and treatments, light-speed internet, and many other discoveries that have revolutionized society and shaped our understanding of the universe.

The webinar aims to encourage connections and collaboration among light researchers and the international Open Access community to share and celebrate the role light plays in our lives.

We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the MDPI International Day of Light Webinar 2023.
