This is a reminder that abstract submission and registration are officially open for the 2026 CRS Women’s Health Symposium! Hosted at the Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science at Unity Health Toronto on September 28-29, 2026, this two-day, multidisciplinary event focuses on innovation in technology development and clinical translation in women’s health. It is a fantastic opportunity to engage with leading international experts, clinicians, researchers, and trainees. 

We are also thrilled to announce that two $500 travel grants, sponsored by iBEST and Mito2i, are available specifically for international trainees traveling to present research at the symposium. In addition to the funding, these two recipients will receive waived registration fees. To be considered for a travel grant, trainees must submit their abstracts before June 15, 2026. Please note that this deadline is much earlier than general submission to allow for travel planning and processing.  

Key Deadlines

To ensure you do not miss out on presenting or attending, please keep the following dates in mind:

• For international trainee travel grant consideration: submit abstracts by June 15, 2026
• General abstract submissions: August 14, 2026
• Registration deadline: September 8, 2026

Symposium Overview

The program features thematic sessions highlighting both fundamental research and translational applications across key areas, including cancer, infectious diseases and reproductive health, local vaginal and mucosal drug delivery, and pregnancy-related diagnostics, treatments, and models.

Attendees will hear from global leaders in academia and industry, with excellent opportunities to engage with emerging research through trainee pitch presentations, poster sessions, and networking events. Don’t miss the chance to explore the future of women’s health with global leaders in the field. Secure your spot and submit your abstract today!
