To complete their activity the Papers Committee will need 50-70 reviewers who have the task of reviewing all Abstracts submitted by authors following the Call for Papers, which will be issued in June 2015 and then making recommendations on which of these should be presented as Oral and Poster Presentations for SubOptic 2016. These reviewers will be chosen with expertise in the particular topic area, from the broadest possible spread of organisations.  Only one reviewer from a company is allowed per topic area. If you would be willing to join any one of the Papers Review Committees above, please do get in touch with Mark Andre.
