Dear Darksky Advocate,
The time that the 6the version of the European Symposium for protection
of the Night Sky will happen becomes very close. Pete Seiden of the
Campaign for dark skies have asked me to send you the information of
this edition of the traditional symposium. It is the Campaign for Dark
Skies (CfDS) together with IDA Europe that is organizing this year the
symposium. Pete Seidon did a terific job to coördinate this
organisation.
The European Symposium for protection of the Night Sky is a yearly event
that bring members of IDA Sections and affiliate associations,
environmental associations, scientists, local governments and lighting
designers in Europe together and where they discus about all possible
topics on light pollution. This year this will not be different!
