The online continuing education course «Light and Chronobiology» provides an in-depth understanding of the physiological and psychological significance of daylight for humans. It covers the fundamentals and current research findings in the fields of molecular biology, psychophysiology, neuroendocrinology, and their clinical relevance.
There is a particular focus on the role of daylight in the built environment and its influence on health, well-being, and performance - for example, in work environments, educational institutions, and care facilities.
Participants also learn how personal behavior in relation to light affects health and mental well-being - and what opportunities conscious design of (day)light exposure offers.
