<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">On behalf of CILT (UK), the University of Hull, and Professor David Grant and Emeritus Professor Chandra Lalwani as co-chairs, myself as LRN 2016 conference chair, we
have pleasure in attaching the call for papers for LRN 2016 which will be held in Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom from the 7<sup>th</sup> to 9<sup>th</sup> of September 2016. This year’s theme is “Doing the Right Thing – Ethical Issues in Logistics and<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">We apologise that the CFP has been delayed by a week or so from normal, however we have had some administrative procedures to complete.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">This year we are using the EasyChair conference website software for the conference. Instructions are given in the link provided in the CFP, however it is extremely easy and intuitive to use.
Many other conferences are now using EasyChair and once you set up an account it will record all such conferences that you submit papers to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">The abstracts due 1 April are submitted directly into the software, i.e. no formatting involved at this stage. That will come later when final papers are submitted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">We look forward to welcoming everyone in Hull this September and ask that you also forward this CFP to others who may be interested. Many thanks for your consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
