The year 2015, a century after the publication of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity in 1915, has been proclaimed the International Year of Light and light-based technologies by the UN General Assembly.
‘Light as luminosity’ is the theme of the CERN celebrations on the occasion of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015). CERN is organizing a series of public events that are broadcasted online, and archived. Follow the webcasts for upcoming and past events here.
Read the viewpoint of prof. Lucio Rossi, the Leader of the High Luminosity LHC on the “luminous” celebrations.
