Announcement and Call for Papers

Objective:

The 8th. URSI Forum is offering a meeting opportunity to all Belgian 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 to them and to the academic and scientific staff of universities and institutes a unique opportunity to be informed about the different research programmes in Radio Science.

Organisation:

Following evaluation of previous editions of the URSI Forum, the structure of the Forum will consist of Poster Sessions (contributions will be placed in the relevant URSI session). A preview session of the posters on display (3 minutes per poster) will be organised.

Submission of abstracts:

The contributions will be evaluated by the Scientific Programme Committee. For a final year PhD project or a follow up project, the evaluation will be based on a summary (maximum 4 pages) of the project to be submitted by the applicant. For an ongoing PhD project a 1 page abstract must be submitted. Submission is required by 15 November 2000.

Electronic submission of abstracts prepared in MS Word for a PC is prefered (RTF file is also acceptable).

An area of 1m (wide) x 2m (high) will be available for all selected posters.

Proceedings:

The proceedings of the URSI Forum will consist of a collection of submitted abstracts and summaries and will be distributed at the Forum to all participants.

Registration:

Registration is required before 1 December 2000 by returning the enclosed form.

Registration is free for authors of URSI-affiliated institutions. All others must pay a fee of 2000 BEF to cover expenses (proceedings, lunch, coffee breaks and reception).

 

Final Programme:

The final programme, including, titles of sessions and poster presentations, time schedule and directions to the Planetarium, will be sent by e-mail by 9th December. Since this year, the Forum is open to an international audience, and will hence have the status of an international conference.
