The SIG events will be held on Wednesday 15th April 2026. We invite you to send us an expression of interest before 12 September 2025, please let us know:
We have a wide range of rooms available, but there is still a limit. While we will aim to accommodate all SIGs if we don’t have sufficient space to do so we’ll allocate on a first submitted first allocated basis.
In the first instance please submit your expression of interest via the SIGs Submission Portal answering the points above.
In December we will confirm the SIGs program.
The SIG events are held on the first day of the conference. Each year we are seeing more SIG’s holding an event. We have seen a rapid increase in the number of SIGs wanting to hold an event at ECSWR, which we welcome. However, so that the ECSWR host can manage this event effectively it has become necessary to put in place some guidelines. SIG convenors will be asked for an expression of interest as above, please note after the deadline it will not be possible to include a SIG in the program.
The fees for the SIGs will be published on the conference website in due course https://www.ecswr2026.org/
The fees for the SIG events are very reasonable, this is reflected in the services that the host university can offer. The host will provide:
A convenors meeting will be held during Conference this is a chance to give a brief update about SIG activities, and some discussion about the development of SIG.
