URSI Benelux Forum 2022

The 29th URSI Benelux Forum with theme “Past, present and future of Radio Science” will be held on February 3, 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.

Student Paper Competition

URSI has a clear intention to support Young Scientists through its YS Programme and through supporting and organising Student Paper Competitions at National or Regional events as will be the case at the Benelux Forum 2022. This year three Student Paper prizes will be awarded, €400, €200 and €100.

Structure of the meeting

The structure of the Forum will consist of Poster Sessions with contributions from all fields covered by every of the 10 URSI Commissions in addition to a plenary program around the theme “Past, present and future of Radio Science”, highlighting the centennial of URSI and pitches by eminent researchers on ongoing developments and the future of Radio Science.
