The Southern African-Nordic Centre (SANORD) invites scholars, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students from across the Global South and North to submit abstracts for the 2026 SANORD Annual Conference:

Following the recent harrowing destruction and arson at the University of Fort Hare (UFH), over 30 organisations based in the Eastern Cape, and over 140 organisations and individuals across the country, have come together to reclaim and safeguard this historic institution, and call for democratic values to be restored and upheld.

SANORD is proud to announce the regional winners of the 2025 Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition, a vibrant showcase of emerging research talent from across our Southern African and Nordic member universities.
