Dear Friends and Colleagues
The SANRC has received an excellent response to the first Call for Papers for the SANRC FYE Conference 2016. Many thanks to all who responded positively to the Call for Papers. The initial peer review process will now proceed with the initial submissions, but it is clear that there will still be some space available on the programme. As a consequence we have decided to extend this second call for papers. We look forward to hearing from you.
