Lund Luminescence Day 2025 (LLD25)
Welcome to a day about luminescence dating and dosimetry!
The programme for the day (16 January 2025) is now set and can be found below. Please note that it will be possible to join the talks in the morning online if you cannot come to Lund.
Hosted by the Lund University Luminescence centre for Dating and Dosimetry (Department of Geology in Lund, and Medical Radiation Physics in Malmö), we aim to introduce participants to luminescence dating and dosimetry. With a full day of talks, discussions and demonstrations, we’ll focus on the role of luminescence in archaeology, geology, medicine, environmental studies and forensics.
Attendance is FREE, but advance sign up is essential.

LLD is a whole day event, however it is split into two sessions (morning: talks, and afternoon: lab visits, demonstrations, discussions), and you are very welcome to join us for just one session if you prefer. The morning talks will also be available online through Zoom. See programme at: https://www.geology.lu.se/research/laboratories-equipment/lund-luminescence-laboratory/lund-luminescence-day-2025
Please don’t hesitate to be in contact with us should you have any questions: luminescence [at] geol [dot] lu [dot] se (luminescence[at]geol[dot]lu[dot]se)
Looking forward to seeing you there!
