URSI Benelux Forum 2022

The 29th URSI Benelux Forum with theme “Past, present and future of Radio Science” will be held on March 18, 2022 at “De Zwarte Doos” on the University Campus of the University of Eindhoven. The URSI Benelux Forum is offering a meeting opportunity to researchers preparing a PhD in the different scientific fields covered by URSI (International Union of Radio Science - Union Radioscientifique Internationale). Researchers with a PhD are also welcome to present significant advances in their (postdoctoral) research. The meeting offers them and the academic and scientific staff of universities and institutes a unique opportunity to be informed about the different research programmes in Radio Science.
Please feel free to download and distribute a copy of the call for papers.
