The abstract deadline for the 2016 Beacon Satellite Symposium has been
extended to March 1st, 2016. The meeting will be held at the
International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy on June
27 – July 1, 2016. Dr. Sandro Radicella and Dr. Bruno Nava have
graciously offered to be the local hosts this symposium.
This meeting will provide a unique opportunity for ionospheric
scientists from all over the world to meet and collaborate on the
ionospheric effects on radio propagation. This meeting is primarily
sponsored by the Beacon Satellite Group of the International Union of
Radio Science (URSI) Commission G. The Beacon Satellite Group is
interdisciplinary, servicing science, research, application and
engineering interests. These interests include all aspects of satellite
signals observed on the ground and by receivers on-board satellites.
We invite you to consider attending this distinctive symposium. Details
on the abstract submission process together with all the other
organizational details are available on the Beacon Satellite web site
at: http://t-ict4d.ictp.it/beacon2016.
It is our intent to waive the registration fee and to assist travel
costs for a limited number of students and attendees from developing
countries. The total level of assistance will depend on sponsorship
funding. Information on applications for assistance will also be
available soon on our web site.
We sincerely hope to see you in Italy for the 19th International Beacon
Satellite Symposium.
Yours sincerely,
Patricia Doherty, Chair, Beacon Satellite Studies Working Group, URSI
Commission G
Bruno Nava, Co-Chair, Beacon Satellite Studies Working Group
