Visit Ghent University at the Light Festival

Not only is light useful, cosy and beautiful, it is also terrifically interesting and full of unexpected applications!. But that is something we will let the visitors to the Ghent Light Festival 2018 discover for themselves in the foyer of the Universiteitsforum Building (Ufo). Smack in the middle of all the spectacular light artworks, dozens of enthusiastic light researchers from Ghent University will amaze you with interactive demos. See with your own eyes how light flashes through glass fibre cables. Discover why plants grow toward light and how fluorescent proteins help us to study their roots. Check out a scale model of the largest telescope in the world. Strum a tune on a laser harp.
