URSI AT-RASC 2015 will be the first edition of the newly-established triennial URSI Atlantic Radio Science Conference as one of the URSI Flagship Conferences. The conference will take place on Gran Canaria from 18-12 May, 2015. It is the 3rd URSI flagship conference alongside the triennial URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium and the triennial AP-RASC conference (AsiaPacific Radio Science Conference).
This 1st URSI Atlantic Radio Science Conference will have an open scientific program composed of
submitted papers within the domains covered by all ten Commissions of URSI:
Commission A: Electromagnetic Metrology
Commission B: Fields and Waves
Commission C: Radiocommunication and Signal Processing Systems
Commission D: Electronics and Photonics
Commission E: Electromagnetic Environment and Interference
Commission F: Wave Propagation and Remote Sensing
Commission G: Ionospheric Radio and Propagation
Commission H: Waves in Plasmas
Commission J: Radio Astronomy
Commission K: Electromagnetics in Biology and Medicine
AT-RASC 2015 will have an open scientific program composed of submitted papers within the domains covered by all ten Commissions of URSI. The technical programme will become available as soon as the paper selection has been finalised.
The submission deadline for papers is 15th December 2014, for more details see:
