The Daylight Academy promotes international and interdisciplinary cooperation among scientists, architects and other professionals involved in daylight research or with a strong interest in daylight related topics.

The Daylight Academy (DLA) is an international membership organisation initiated by Velux Stiftung and bringing together scientists from all backgrounds, architects, engineers and other professionals involved in daylight research or with a strong interest in daylight related topics.

By organising networking events, supporting collaborative activities and providing a platform for connection and exchange among the different disciplines and fields of expertise working on daylight, the Academy wants to initiate cooperation, innovation and new knowledge. Such interdisciplinary exchange has the potential to be a catalyst for creativity, novelty and development.

The aim is to strengthen daylight research and its applications for the benefit of humanity and nature.

The Daylight Academy was officially inaugurated in November 2016.
