FUTURE THINKING

The workshop was very successful in providing insights on the potential of smart lighting and smart lighting expertise, along with looking at developments in this context within the lighting industry in the UK and EU.It presented an excellent opportunity for the academics and stakeholders to present, discuss, network and hear about the exciting innovations taking place in smart and sustainable public lighting and the potential of decision-support tools in aiding decision-making, the selection of public lighting technologies, and theevaluation of their economic, environmental and social impacts.The discussion and feedback sessions played a significant role in developing a consensus with the partners and the stakeholders around what next steps need to be taken in the improvement of the design of the decision-support tool.Finally, an important topic discussed during the workshop was the novel multi-criteria method for choosing public lighting technologies, in other words the need to be considering the three sus-tainability dimensions of economic, environmental and social.
