NIR 2011 will be hosted by the Rainbow Nation, South Africa. We all know that the NIR region starts just after the visible region, i.e. just after red. Thus our slogan; NIR at the end of the rainbow. The rainbow colours in the logo are self explanatory whereas the beaded spectra symbolize South Africa where beaded handcrafts are plentiful!

The pre-conference courses will be held at the Wallenberg Research Centre at Stias in Stellenbosch from
