We are excited to anounce a new continuous education online course in Light and Chronobiology. Attendance is free, please register by sending an email to: mirjam.muench@unibas.ch
What are the goals of this course?
- The course will provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of daylight in human behaviour, molecular biology, psychophysiology, neuroendocrinology and clinical applications
- The course will highlight the importance of daylight in the built environment for office users, schoolchildren or the elderly in care homes
- The course will inform about: personal light exposure behaviour and consequences, the impact of light on mental health
Please register by writing an email to: mirjam.muench@unibas.ch
Program
The course will be held weekly online at 3pm (CET). Duration is 45 Min plus 15 Min Q&A
