Invitation members KIVI and URSI

The International Union of Radio Science (URSI) and the KIVI Telecommunications Department invite you to the 5G/6G seminar at the farewell of Wim van Etten Chairman Dutch URSI Committee (NUC).

Last year, Wim van Etten was unfortunately forced to step down from the Netherlands URSI Committee (NUC) for health reasons.

Because of his longstanding involvement with the NUC, we would like to take a moment to reflect on this and to this end we have organised a seminar, see invitation to NUC members at the bottom of this message.

One of the things Wim has been very active in from the NUC are the contacts with the KIVI Telecommunications Department, culminating in the (almost) annual KIVI-URSI meetings.

Besides this personal link, because of Wim's own background, the subject of the seminar is also of interest to KIVI Telecom department members. KIVI members are therefore cordially invited.

Seminar Developments in 5G/6G communications and microwave photonics:

Last year, Wim van Etten indicated that he would like to step down from the NUC and the "Stichting Wetenschappelijke Activiteiten NUC" (SWAN, foundation for scientific activities of the NUC).

For various reasons, we did not find an opportunity to thank him for his many contributions to the NUC and the SWAN yet.

We are now going to make up for it by organising a festive seminar on Friday, September 23 in room 2H of the Carré building on the campus of the University of Twenten (building number 15 on the attached campus map).

You are all cordially invited! In this seminar. Bart Smolders and David Marpaung will reflect on developments in 5G/6G communications and microwave photonics, two topics that build on foundations to which Wim has contributed from the start of his career at the University of Eindhoven and later at the University of Twente.

Before and after the symposium, there will be ample time to meet old and new friends and share memories as indicated by the program for this festive afternoon.

To make appropriate catering arrangements, we would like to know how many people will attend this event.

Please register for September 19 at the latest when you plan to attend? Looking forward to seeing many of you at this seminar!
