[ncrs-general] URSI Young Scientists Awards

[Ray.Norris at csiro.au]

Dear colleague

If you are not "young", please could you forward this to your younger
colleagues and students!

The General Assembly of the International Union of Radio Science  will
be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago, USA on August
07-16, 2008. It will cover all areas of Radio Science and will consist
of plenary lectures, public lectures, tutorials, invited and contributed
papers. In addition, there will be workshops, short courses, special
programs for young scientists and graduate students, programs for
accompanying persons, and industrial exhibits. More than 1,500
scientists from more than fifty countries are expected to participate. 

This email is to invite young scientists to apply for two awards: 

1) Young (under 35) Scientists awards, which provide free registration
and some financial support for board and lodging at the General
Assembly.
2) Student paper competition, open to all full-time University students,
which provides accommodation at the GA, a certificate and a cash prize.

In both cases, you need to submit a paper by 31 January 2008. Further
information is available on http://www.ece.uic.edu/2008ursiga/

Thanks

Ray Norris

Chair, National Committee for Radio Science
