[Extract] In recognition of the importance of light science and its applications, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies (IYL). The IYL raised awareness on how light-based technologies can promote sustainable development and provide solutions to current and future global challenges (www.light2015.org/Home.html). Light plays a crucial role in our daily lives and finds broad applications in chemical synthesis, physical processes, environmental management, and energy generation (among others).\ud\udThis special issue highlights new trends in photochemical engineering and technologies. It covers new photoreactor systems and light sources, photoreactor modelling, photochemical methodologies, and photoactive materials. It comprises five review papers and thirteen research papers from research groups from across the globe
