WELCOME MESSAGE

URSI-RCRS is a biannual conference that was hosted by INC-URSI (Indian National Committee for URSI (International Radio Science Union)) under Indian National Science Academy till 2017. The URSI-RCRS conferences attracted a wide number of researchers across India in the area of radio science. The last three series under RCRS have been organized very successfully and generated huge interest among the radio science research community. Therefore, the Indian Radio Science Society (InRaSS) was created and registered to host all future RCRS conferences and for spreading Radio Science in India. In 2019, InRaSS hosted the highly successful URSI flagship event called the Asia Pacific Radio Science (AP-RASC 2019) conference in New Delhi during 9-15 March 2019. The meeting was attended by more than 750 delegates from all across the world. This year the fifth version of URSI-RCRS 2022 will be held in IIT Indore from December 1-4, 2022.

The URSI-RCRS 2022 scientific program will deal with research areas that broadly cover the Ten Scientific Commissions of URSI – namely, Electromagnetic Metrology; Fields and Waves; Radio-communication Systems and Signal Processing; Electronics and Photonics; Electromagnetic Environment and Interference; Wave Propagation and Remote Sensing; Ionospheric Radio and Propagation; Waves in Plasmas; Radio Astronomy; and Electromagnetics in Biology and Medicine. All the submitted papers will undergo a peer-review process by experts on the subject and, if accepted, will be assigned to the appropriate session for presentations.

The main objective of the Conference is to review current trends in research, present new discoveries, and make plans for future research work or for specific projects. The URSI-RCRS 2022 will feature technical sessions – comprising both oral and poster presentations invited plenary lectures as well as an exhibition of products related to radio science. An equally important objective will also be to encourage scientific exchange and fellowship amongst industry colleagues and academicians or professionals in India. This conference will be an occasion for delegates to make new acquaintances and strengthen existing friendships.
