The Global Light Commons (GLC) framework is developed by the Translational Sensory & Circadian Neuroscience Unit at the Technical University of Munich, as part of the Global Light Exposure and Experience (GLEE) research initiative. GLC aims to support interoperable, FAIR, and reproducible light exposure data through standardized metadata and open tooling for wearable light logger and dosimetry research.

The GLC framework has been developed in part through contributions from the MeLiDos project. MeLiDos is a joint, EURAMET-funded project involving sixteen partners across Europe, aimed at developing metrology and standardized workflows for wearable light logger data and optical radiation dosimeters. Its contributions toward fostering FAIR data include the development of common file formats, robust metadata descriptors, and an accompanying open-source software ecosystem.

The project (22NRM05 MeLiDos) has received funding from the European Partnership on Metrology, co-financed from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme and by the Participating States. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or EURAMET.

The GLEE project is primarily supported by an unrestricted gift from Reality Labs Research, a division of Meta.
