THE URSI GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM
The URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium will be held from
19-26 August in the beautiful city of Montreal, Canada. The Commission G
programme is now open for papers, with a closing date of 30 January
2017. An outline of the Commission G programme can be found below with
further details available at http://www.ursi2017.org .
Please consider submitting an abstract to our sessions, and traveling to
Montreal to attend this conference. Note that URSI supports a strong
Young Scientist programme, which will provide support for young
researchers under 35 to attend this meeting. Additionally, students can
also participate in the Student Paper competition. Thus, this conference
is an excellent opportunity for any early career scientists or students.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of URSI, the instructions for paper
submission allow multiple types. Please note that the usual extended
abstract of a minimum of ~250 words and a maximum of one page is
sufficient for oral or poster presentation submissions in our field.
However, application for a URSI Young Scientist Award requires
submission of a 2-4-page summary paper. This will be used by the URSI
national committees to rank the applicants and determine who gets the
support. A longer paper is required to enter the Student Paper
Competition. Further details can be found on the website.
