Daylight connects several disciplines, and our funding program focuses primarily on research at their interfaces that unlocks the full potential of this freely available resource. Therefore, this program seeks to leverage the benefits of daylight by bridging disciplines to accelerate innovation and address complex challenges, which are relevant to our society and our environment. By fostering collaborations between disciplines – especially those that rarely interact – we aim to support outside-of-the-box projects that generate impact and synergies that single-discipline approaches cannot achieve.
Starting in 2026, the program supports research on the effects and utilization of daylight in three societal topics:
These topics were identified by an international network of daylight experts who are members of the Daylight Academy , an initiative of Velux Stiftung. The topics are not mutually exclusive, and applications can combine several aspects. We welcome novel, outside-of-the-box approaches that align with the topic’s overarching aim, place daylight at the core of the research and bring together disciplines in innovative ways.
