[ncrs-general] Successful Young Scientists

[Phil Wilkinson]

FOUR AUSTRALIAN SCIENTISTS RECEIVE YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARDS 
TO ATTEND THE URSI GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AUGUST 2002.

The National Committee for Radio Science (NCRS) is very happy to 
announce that Australia will be represented by four Young Scientists at
the forthcoming URSI General Assembly.  All four have successfully 
competed in an international field to obtain their Young Scientist 
awards.  

The successful candidates are:

Mr. Aaron P. Chippendale (Commission J) 
CSIRO Australia Telescope National Facility, Epping, NSW.

Mr. Clayton R. Locke (Commission A) 
Physics Department, University of Western Australia.

Ms. Melanie Johnston-Hollit (Commission J)
Department of Physics and Mathematical Physics, Adelaide University.

Dr. Steven J. Tingay (Commission J) 
Australia Telescope National Facility, Narrabri, NSW.

At each URSI General Assembly a number of these Awards are made to
facilitate the attendance of young scientists at URSI Assemblies.  The 
awards do not cover travel to and from the Assembly, but they do cover 
the Assembly registration fees, moderate priced accommodation and 
lodging.  The awards are made on the basis of the candidates past
research output, academic qualifications, and the paper they would
present at the Assembly if successful.  The judgements are made both
within Australia and internationally.  The candidates applications are
first ranked locally, based on our knowledge of their work and then
these rankings, together with the candidates' applications are judged by
an international panel, appointed by URSI, who make the final awards.

We wish all four successful candidates an enjoyable General Assembly.

best wishes,
Phil Wilkinson
Chair, NCRS
