Latest developments in radio science.
Description
Last August, the General Assembly of the URSI (Union Radio Scientifique Internationale) was held, this time in Istanbul. This major radio conference, which is organised once every three years, once again enjoyed a large contribution from the Netherlands. No fewer than 27 speakers from Dutch research institutes had secured a place in the programme. The Dutch URSI Committee made a selection from these, which will be presented at this Theme Meeting. This will give a good overview of the latest developments in radio sciences in the Netherlands, but also internationally.
