STUDENT PAPER COMPETITIONS

URSI Student Paper Competitions

URSI supports Young Scientists to actively participate and present their work on the occasion of URSI Flagship Meetings or at national or regional URSI events.

The URSI Flagship Meetings are the 3 meetings in a triennial cycle: the General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GASS), the Atlantic Radio Science Conference (AT-RASC) and the Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (AP-RASC). At the occasion of these 3 URSI Flagship Meetings, a Student Paper Competition is organized using the rules below.

Besides these URSI Flagship Meetings, URSI also supports the organization of Student Paper Competitions at the occasion of national or regional URSI meetings and symposia, orgnaized by the URSI Member Committees. the organizing URSI Member Committee can request up to € 500 financial support by sending a request to the URSI Board through the URSI Secretariat.
