The MeLiDos consortium met at the Technical University of Munich in Garching from 26 to 28 May 2026 for the project's final meeting. The gathering marked the close of three years of collaboration on metrology for wearable light loggers and optical radiation dosimeters.

Three areas of work

Across the project, partners worked on three complementary themes:

  • Device characterisation: practical methods, quality metrics and interlaboratory comparisons for wearable light loggers and solar UV dosimeters.
  • Field use of wearable light loggers: harmonised measurement protocols, multinational data collection, and tools for data handling and analysis.
  • Spatially resolved light logging: the development and evaluation of prototype devices that capture light from different directions.
