The 13th International Symposium on the Science and Technology of Lighting (LS13) will take place June 24-29, 2012, in Troy, New York, hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Lighting Research Center, the world's leading university-based research and education organization devoted to lighting.

LS13 presentations and poster sessions will be held at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center on the Rensselaer campus, pictured below.

LS has been held regularly since 1973 and provides a unique opportunity for the worldwide community of engineers, scientists, and designers from the lighting industry, research organizations and academia to meet, present and discuss their work on light source research and development. The LS organization recently decided to modify the series name (previously called International Symposium on the Science and Technology of Light Sources) to better reflect the addition of human factors and lighting applications into the conference program.

We look forward to seeing you in June 2012!
