The UNESCO international day of light is celebrated on the 16th May each year and is a great chance to showcase the many wonderful aspects of light with our wider communities. Students involved in past events have enjoyed sharing their passion for light with the wider public.
Australian New Zealand Optical Society (ANZOS) would like to provide financial support to student chapters to enable them to run an event near the 16th May 2025. Different event formats are welcomed, examples of past events include interactive hands-on experiments and public lectures. In general, an event date within the month of May is preferred with events close to or on the 16th of May strongly encouraged.
Support available: $200 of support per student chapter, or $500 for a combined two-chapter event.
Submission process: Complete the below ½ page form and submit to ANZOS (ausoptsoc@gmail.com) by the 18th April 2025. The outcome will be announced shortly after.
After the event the successful chapters will be required to provide a short article (250 words) including at least one photo from the event for ANZOS news.
