Sprekers bij werkgroep LICHTDAG 2018 Groen Licht Vlaanderen

Catherine Lootens has been working at the Light & Lighting Laboratory (KU Leuven - Ghent) where she started in December 2004 as project officer in a Flemisch funded innovation project about energy efficiency in lighting. This was the start of a chain of funded projects within the VIS (Flemish innovation partnerships) program of (VLAIO) for innovation in lighting (lighting control, led, connected lighting). Funding was about 50 to 80%; the remaining co-financing was provided by a consortium of SME, associations and big players in the lighting value chain. For the last funded project (2017-2020) about connected lighting, the consortium was acting as the innovative business network about lighting and became the association Groen Licht Vlaanderen. The association has 88 members where Catherine is still acting as cluster coordinator and she is also active as board member.
