URSI-TR

URSI Turkey National Committee

URSI (International Union of Radio Science) is one of the scientific unions of ICSU (International Council for Science) — a long-established, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and coordinating work in the fields of radio science, telecommunications, and electronic sciences on an international platform.

Turkey became a member of URSI in 1993 through TÜBİTAK. Operating with TÜBİTAK's support, the URSI Turkey National Committee has organized national scientific congresses every year since 2002, encouraging the sharing and dissemination of the knowledge produced for the benefit of humanity.
