ENLIGHTEme: THE INFLUENCE OF LIGHTING ON HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

ENLIGHTENme is the first systematic study to link lighting conditions, health statistics and an analysis of socio-economic inequalities. An Europe-wide research (financed by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme) which is still ongoing (it will last four years), but the main hypotheses of which are an unprecedented novelty.

Using a trans-disciplinary approach and involving elderly people together with interested local parties and experts in the co-planning of lighting innovations, ENLIGHTENme will develop a new approach to urban lighting policies and programmes. Moreover, it will implement a system of intelligent lighting controls that will enable researchers to verify not only energy and operational savings, but also the effects on citizens’ health, wellbeing and quality of life.

Throughout the project, the consortium in charge of it will be able to achieve exceptional results in different sectors in terms of new concepts and approaches, new applications and operational innovations, new products and services, and innovative knowledge.
