Dear all, Abstract submissions for the 2017 URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GASS), held August 19-26, 2017 in Montreal, are now open at http://www.ursi2017.org
** The deadline for submission is JANUARY 30, 2017. I especially encourage any young scientists (those under the age of 35 at the time of the GASS) to submit a 2-4 page summary paper for consideration towards an URSI Young Scientist Award. Recipients of these awards receive free registration, financial support for board and lodging and an opportunity to attend a variety of early career events throughout the week of the symposium.
