The GCI is pleased to welcome its 2006–07 conservation guest scholars. The Conservation Guest Scholar Program is a residential program that serves to encourage new ideas and perspectives in the field of conservation, with an emphasis on research in the visual arts (including sites, buildings, and objects) and on the theoretical underpinnings of the field. This competitive
program provides an opportunity for conservation professionals to pursue interdisciplinary scholarly research in areas of general interest to the international conservation community.
Scholars—in residence at the GCI for periods of three to nine consecutive months—are given housing at a scholar apartment complex, a work space at the GCI, a monthly stipend, and access to the libraries and resources of the Getty.
Applications for the 2007–08 scholar year are currently being accepted. The application deadline is November 1, 2006.
