INTERNATIONAL DAY OF LIGHT 2022

It is the light that takes place in every moment of our lives and makes life meaningful. At the most basic level, the sun is the origin of life. The International Day of Light, celebrated annually on May 16, is a call to awareness to appreciate the role light plays in science, the arts, education and sustainable development. At the same time, this call is a global initiative that helps UNESCO achieve its goals of “education, equality and peace”.

 

International Day of Light is celebrated on May 16, the anniversary of the first successful operation of the laser by physicist and engineer Theodore Maiman in 1960. This celebration is basically a call to strengthen scientific cooperation and use its potential to promote peace and sustainable development.

 

From the moment we wake up in the morning, the light accompanies us throughout the day, makes us feel the time and illuminates every moment of our lives by being with us until we go to sleep at night. Happy International Day of Light, May 16!
