Today, 16 May, is the International Day of Light. As a global society, we recognize the many ways light and our members play a role in science, culture, medicine, communications and sustainable development. For #LightDay2026, we are celebrating the incredible Optica Members around the world working for a bright future through broadening access to #education and information, deep space exploration, creating medical technologies, contributing to art, pushing the frontiers of #quantum and fusion energy and everything in between.
