Building a sustainable community where students, researchers and partners from industry and public organizations can openly discuss challenges and work on solutions requires continuous adaption of the approach. There is no proven way to do it, so in the spirit of 'boldly going where no-one has gone before', we are finding our way for the theme of Lighting together with students in various courses, Team IGNITE, researchers from the Intelligent Lighting Institute and our vast network of companies and municipalities. We share our steps and learnings, and hope to ignite a vibrant discussion on community building practices.
