The 2023 World Conference was a huge success with the help of our conference sponsors, the University of Waterloo, and the WACE community! Over 300 delegates from 24 countries joined together at the University of Waterloo, Canada in June with 100 workshops and paper presentations to choose from. 

During the conference Gala and Awards Reception, WACE was delighted to present three major awards to recognize contributions in cooperative and work-integrated education (CWIE) around the world. The Best Paper at the conference award was also announced along with the recipients of the 2023 WACE Research Grant. Congratulations to all the awardees and recipients. For more details on our 2023 recipients, read more here.

WACE is grateful to the University of Waterloo team for their warm welcome and efforts in hosting the global WIL community after 4 long years to share practice, research, and network with colleagues from across the world.

Thank you to everyone who attended this year's conference and congratulations to the 2023 WACE Awards recipients!
