Conference Program

The Call for Abstracts for CWRA 2023 is now closed. Thank you for all your submissions!

Read more about the requirements for abstract submission and submit your abstracts here on our website.

In support of the conference theme and key focuses, please see below for a list of subthemes to help in categorizing abstract submissions. In the abstract submission form, you can indicate multiple categories, if your abstract fits under more than one. This list should not be considered limiting for the topic of your abstract – for abstracts that do not fit into these topic categories, there is an ‘other’ option on the form for you to enter your subtheme. The conference program committee will determine final session themes from the submissions they receive.
