About U.R.S.I.

International Union of Radio Science (URSI – Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale) is a non-profit scientific organization which aim is to initiate and coordinate international studies research and scientific exchange within radio science.

URSI is a part of ICSU – International Council for Science URSI – has the following targets:

– to initiate and promote international activities within radio science and their implementation for commonwealth

– to initiate propagation and unification of measurement and methods and standards used in scientific works

– to initiate and coordinate research within:

• scientific aspects of telecommunication using directed and indirected electromagnetic waves
• generating, transmission, propagation, receiving and detection of fields and waves and processing signals included in them

– to be a representative of radio science for the public, and for public and private organizations.

Other information and parallel events

Although English and Polish are both the conference languages, the abstracts and camera-ready papers (selected to be published in one of the abovementioned journals) will be printed only in English. Moreover, special track (only in English) will be organized during the whole URSI conference. The plenary sessions and invited talks will be held in English as well.

Just after URSI symposium, the greatest and most important Polish national conference will be held (17th to 19th of June, see: http://kkrrit.ire.pw.edu.pl/ ).

In parallel with URSI symposium, the Technical Exposition will be organized, which allows to disseminate the scientific results to the industrial partners
