NORDIC LIGHT & COLOUR

Nordic Light and Colour
In April 2012, NTNU held a PhD course titled ”Nordic Light and Colours”. It was funded by NordForsk and originated
from the inter-Nordic transdisciplinary research project
SYN-TES: Human colour and light synthesis. Towards a coherent
field of knowledge.
The course included the task to write an essay on a topic within the participant’s own field of research, including both
colour and light. This publication presents a selection of these essays, together with articles where lecturers present
topics that were presented at the course or in other ways are relevant for its theme.
All contributions have undergone a double blind peer review process, where internationally renowned colour and light
experts have functioned as referees.
The selection of articles includes a broad range of topics referring to questions and theories of different disciplines.
Thus we hope that the publication will contribute to the formation of
Colour and light
as a coherent and multidiscipli-
nary field of knowledge.
Thank you to Monica Billger, Alex Booker, Jan Ejhed, Cecilia Häggström, Ulf Klarén, Thorbjörn Laike, John Mard-
aljevic, Karin Søndergaard, Arne Valberg and Helle Wijk who have functioned as lecturers, workshop leaders and/or
referees. Without your contributions neither the course nor this publication would have become reality.
Special thanks go to Kine Angelo who, besides being one of the course participants, helped with preparation of the
course and with diverse practical issues during the course.
