CMWR 2026
The Conference on Computational Methods in Water Resources
June 28 – July 2, 2026, Bologna, Italy
The CMWR was created in 1976 and has since been held biennially alternating between locations in North America and Europe. CMWR is dedicated to nurturing and promoting cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on quantitative forecasting of hydrological processes, with a special emphasis on mathematical, computational, statistical, and machine learning methods.
CMWR 2026 Conference Agenda & Program
Information for Session Chairs
- Presenters are asked to send their slides before the conference. The conference team will download the presentation slides in advance and upload them to the laptop in each meeting room. They will check for completeness each morning from 7-8 am, but it would be helpful to check for presentations without uploaded slides before your session starts.
- Each meeting room is equipped with a laptop, a projector, an HDMI adapter, and a laser pointer (which allows for remote control of slides).
- We have a conference volunteer in each room who will be ready to assist or ask the technical support team to come to the room if any technical issues arise.
- Each oral presentation will last 20 minutes, including 15 minutes of presentation and 5 minutes of Q&A. Chairs have the flexibility to determine how strictly you wish to adhere to the 15+5 minute division.
- If a presentation is canceled due to a no-show, we encourage you to use that time slot for additional Q&A and discussion. Please do not start the next presentation until its scheduled start time.
Information for Oral Presenters
Before proceeding to upload your slides, please read the following requirements:
- Your presentation is limited to 20 minutes, including 15 minutes of oral presentation and 5 minutes of Q&A.
- File format is limited to PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF.
- The optimal aspect ratio of the slides is 16:9.
- Please name the file with the session number and your full name. For example, “Session 1 – James Smith.pptx“.
- Please send your slides by June 23 to dicam.cmwr_presentations@unibo.it.
Information for Poster Presenters
- The maximum poster size is 40 inches wide (horizontally) and 60 inches high (vertically). Any size smaller than the maximum size should be fine. Presenters should leave a 1-inch (2.54 cm) border around the poster.
- You must bring your printed poster on the morning of your presentation. The poster will be displayed throughout the day. Each poster is assigned the code before your presentation title in the Conference Program.
- If you are a student presenter, you automatically enter the Student Poster Presentation Contest. A team of judges will evaluate the student posters and select outstanding student poster presenters.
