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.

This year’s working groups will incorporate concepts from previous conferences while adjusting to focus on the particular circumstances of the Galapagos archipelago, with supports by experts from Ecuador.

  • Urban Landscape Biodiversity
  • Water, Waste Water & Global Health
  • Sustainable Urban Design & Transitions in Waterfronts
  • Future Energy Landscapes and Vulnerable Communities
