| The Members of the Union are the Committees, formed by
Academies of Science or equivalent organisations, which adhere to the Union.
More information about URSI membership can be found
here. Individuals can
become URSI Radioscientists. At the 1993 General Assembly in Kyoto the URSI
Council established a network of correspondents to provide direct contact
with radio scientists throughout the world. Membership is for a three-year
period following a General Assembly. All registrants at a General Assembly
automatically become Radioscientists, as do URSI Officials. In addition,
URSI Member Committees may designate a number of radio scientists in their
respective region, and other radio scientists may seek inclusion in the
Network by applying to the URSI Secretariat and paying a fee (40 euro). The
Network presently comprises over 2200 scientists. At the Maastricht General
Assembly (August 2002) Council decided to change the name "URSI
Correspondent" into "URSI Radioscientist".
The names of the URSI Radioscientists in the 2006-2008, sorted per
"territory", can be found
here.
An URSI Radioscientist receives :
- the quarterly Radio Science
Bulletin;
- reduced subscription rates for some URSI-related technical journals
such as "Journal of
Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics", "Radio Science" and
"Wireless Networks" (More information about these journals
here);
- reduced registration fees at certain URSI-sponsored symposia and
conferences.
Though URSI Radioscientists have no voting rights in Commission Business
Meetings, they are encouraged to express their views on scientific matters.
