Working Groups

The SCL Program uses a “working group” framework to produce actionable knowledge and plans from each annual conference. Rather than focusing on disseminating research that has already been completed, conferences focus on developing joint research collaboration that bridge multi-disciplinaries, and contributing towards finding solutions to the pressing problems of this century.

Many of the working groups will continue from previous years conferences but will be adjusted to focus on the particular circumstances of the Galapagos archipelago.
