Finnish URSI Convention on Radio Science

Last modified by aipentti@helsinki_fi on 2024/01/09 08:29

The Department of Physics at the University of Helsinki organizes the Finnish URSI Radio Science Days at September 7–8. 2017. The meeting will be held at Kumpula Campus.

Invited speakers

Dr. Gorden Videen, Space Science Institute, USA and U.S. Army Research Laboratory
Dr. Anne Virkki, Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico
Dr. Talvikki Hovatta, Tuorla Observatory
Dr. Constantin Simovski, Aalto University
Ass. Prof. Jaan Praks, Aalto University
Dr. Johannes Markkanen, University of Helsinki

Young Scientis award

Following the tradition, a trophy will be awarded to a promising scientist under 35 years. This year the selection committee decided to award Dr. Talvikki Hovatta from Tuorla Observatory with invited presentation Radio view of magnetic fields around relativistic jets. Congratulations Talvikki!

Abstracts

Participants who want to contribute with oral presentation in the program should send a short, max. one page abstract, before August 25. to the local organizer contact person. The format of the one-page abstract is free, but you may use this template.

Conference Dinner

The conference dinner will be held at restaurant Lasipalatsi, close to the railway station and the Kamppi mall. We will start the dinner at 18:30 on Thursday evening.
