The 3rd Fudan Light: Reshaping the Value of Light & 2026 Lighting Ruichuang Awards Ceremony

At the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan", against the strategic backdrop of the nation's full promotion of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and green, low-carbon transformation, the lighting industry is entering a critical period of transition from scale expansion to value creation. Light is no longer merely a tool for illuminating spaces; it has become the nerve endings of smart cities, an important carrier for healthy living, and a key link in achieving the "Dual Carbon" goals.

As the cradle of China's lighting technology innovation, the Institute of Electric Light Sources at Fudan University has always stood at the forefront of scientific research and industrial innovation. For over forty years, it has cultivated more than 3,000 high-level professional talents, continuously leading breakthroughs and development in fields such as light source technology, healthy lighting, and intelligent systems. In 2026, the Fudan University Alumni Association Lighting Chapter and the Department of Light Sources and Lighting Engineering / Institute of Electric Light Sources of the School of Intelligent Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Innovation (hereinafter referred to as the Innovation School) of Fudan University jointly established the "Lighting Ruichuang Award", aiming to recognize the technological innovation achievements of Fudan alumni in lighting and related cross-disciplinary fields, inherit the spirit of Fudan's electric light sources, and promote the construction of an industry ecosystem characterized by "academic leadership + industrial linkage + innovation empowerment".

On June 9, during the 31st GILE (Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition), the themed forum "The 3rd Fudan Light: Reshaping the Value of Light" and the 2026 Lighting Ruichuang Awards Ceremony will be grandly held. This event will gather outstanding Fudan alumni, academic authorities, industry pioneers, and design masters, to engage in in-depth sharing on cutting-edge topics such as color vision accessibility technology, sky light environment simulation, individual differences in human eye photobiological response, AI-driven ultra-energy-saving lighting, frontier applications of infrared therapy devices, comprehensive safety defense lines for road lighting, and AI with traffic operation, while simultaneously announcing the winners of the first Lighting Ruichuang Award. This is not only a feast of ideas for academia and industry, but also a collective declaration by Fudan's light source professionals facing the future and leading the high-quality development of the industry.
