For Professors and Academic Institutions
The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) and the Van Alen Institute (VAI) are offering a unique and challenging opportunity for academic participation in this conference. NPCA will cover the costs of travel and accommodations at both conferences for up to five professors from accredited and relevant programs who agree to attend the conferences, participate in the workshops, and subsequently hold a seminar or design studio on the findings.
