IN LINE WITH THE UNITED NATIONS' YEAR OF LIGHT, Researchers’ Night 5.0 will focus on THIS ENGAGING THEME WHICH IS essential to our lives and cUTS ACROSS all research disciplines.
Researchers from natural & social sciences as WELL AS technology EXPERTS will introduce how light matters in their field. You can join, meet new people, listen and learn or share your own ideas about LIGHT in your research.
The free event is open to researchers of all levels (PhD students, post-docs and senior researchers), all fields (including social sciences and humanities) and research-related professionals from Europe, China and beyond.
INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF LIGHT 2015
Light has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society. IYL 2015 programs will promote improved public and political understanding of the central role of light in the modern world.

Richard's research has evolved from studies of galactic structure to stellar and star cluster population synthesis (well, anything related to star clusters near and far, in fact), although he has placed more recent emphasis on aspects of the astronomical distance scale.
associate researcher at National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academic of Sciences (NAOC, CAS).
Dr. Deng's main research projects are Cosmic RAYs Found In Smartphones (CRAYFIS), and Tianshan Radio Experiment for Neutrino Detection (TREND). Listening to Nature’s messengers (photons and neutrinos), she seeks for signatures of new physics beyond the Standard Models, such as new particles, new interactions and new dimensions.
EURAXESS is the European Commission's Directorate-General for Research and Innovation initiative for the support of researchers. The Researchers' Night is co-organised together with ThinkIN China and Understanding Science, and its aim is to enable researchers make transnational and interdisciplinary networks.
