The APRU SCL 6th Annual Conference will use the Galapagos as an opportunity to focus on urban problems inserted in natural protected areas. Participants will come from around the Pacific Rim to share their knowledge, while learning from the people and landscape of the place where Charles Darwin started his scientific masterpiece “On the Origin of Species”. 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.
