The International Workshop on Syntactic Cartography (IWSC) is a biannual conference initiated in 2015,  which has been co-organized and supported financially by the International Association of Syntactic Cartographic Studies (IAOSCS) (Macao) and the Department of Linguistics, Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU). It aims at bringing together linguists and scientists from other relevant fields who are interested in investigating the "maps" of syntactic structures. During the 2nd IWSC (2017), the organizing committee decided to select topics for its subsequent conferences alphabetically. Consequently, the main topics for the 3rd IWSC (2019) were A-based and then the 4th IWSC (2021) focused predominantly on B-initiated terms. Following the same tradition, the key topics of the 5th IWSC will be C-initiated, including but not limited to the following recommended by the organizing committee members: C/case (and agree); causative; child language acquisition; Cinque hierarchy;  clitics; complementizer; criteria features and the left periphery; crosslinguistic variation, etc...
