Objective:
The 17th URSI Benelux Forum (Cross-Border Radio Science) is offering a meeting
 opportunity to all European researchers preparing a PhD in the different scient
ific fields covered by URSI (International Union of Radio Science - Union Radio-
Scientifique Internationale). Researchers are also welcome to present advances 
in their postdoctoral research. The Forum provides a platform for the different 
research programmes in Radio Science.

Key Topics:
- Radio Science and Space Situational Awareness. This includes topics such as
ionosphere and space weather, tracking of space debris and of near-earth objects
 by radars (also using radio astronomy receivers).
- Radio astronomy, deep space communications and radio noise
- Microwave remote sensing

Organization:
The Forum will feature invited speakers, convened sessions and a poster session.
 All posters are eligible for a best poster award. Poster boards have the
