Programme networking

Alcoa Foundation's Conservation and Sustainability Programme advances state-of-the-art learning through annual convenings of fellows and mentors from the sustainability cabinets and sustainability institutes. These convenings serve to share research findings and develop networks that will enhance research and project collaboration. Alumni networks for fellows and partners will continue connections among participants and key stakeholders after formal programme activities conclude.
