We are delighted to announce that SNAP-2 will be running in Australia from Wednesday 21 - Tuesday 27 June and in New Zealand from Tuesday 5 - Monday 7 September.
In order to have separate sites for the UK, Australia and New Zealand we need to make a slight change to the address of the SNAP2 web tool.
The new address for the UK site will be https:snap2.snapresearch.org.uk/uk.
If you enter the original address of https://snap2.snapresearch.org.uk you will simply be provided with a list of the three SNAP-2 web tools. Clicking on the link for the UK site will take you to the new address.
