WRRC 2025 Annual Conference - Shared Borders, Shared Waters: Working Together in Times of Scarcity

Tue, May 20 – 11:30 am

Wed, May 21 – 07:30 am

University of Arizona Student Union Memorial Center

Registration for the WRRC 2025 Annual Conference is open! This year’s conference will be held on May 20–21, 2025, at the University of Arizona Student Union Memorial Center. While we strongly encourage in-person attendance to get the full experience, a non-interactive FREE Zoom livestream will also be available for those unable to attend in person. Our 2025 conference theme is Shared Borders, Shared Waters: Working Together in Times of Scarcity. The 2025 conference program will focus on the challenges and successes of collaborations across borders. The concept of “borders” is understood broadly, and speakers will address a range of cross-border issues. Presentations will focus on Arizona and the surrounding region, describing collaboration on waters shared by the US and Mexico, as well as cooperation across borders shared with sovereign Tribal Nations, interstate borders, and borders within Arizona. This year, we are also offering a pre-conference workshop on May 20, Better Listening to Help Transform Water Conflict, led by Oregon State University Professor Aaron Wolf. Workshop seats are limited and will only be open to registered conference attendees, so interested individuals should register early.

The delegation visiting through the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) is part of the Towards a More Safe and Secure World Series and focuses on Regional Collaboration to Combat Transnational Crime. This group brings together law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and policymakers from Europe who are working to strengthen regional efforts against transnational crime. During their visit, they will explore the American criminal justice system and the legal framework for addressing a range of transnational crimes, including financial and organized crime, human trafficking, smuggling, and terrorism. The delegation will examine the roles of federal, state, and local authorities in detecting, investigating, and prosecuting these crimes, while also identifying opportunities for collaboration between American and European partners to enhance security and combat criminal networks across borders.
