URSI France 2017 workshop on radio science for humanity: Journées scientifiques URSI-France 2017 radiosciences au service de l'humanité

The annual Journées Scientifiques (JS) workshop of URSI-France (the French National Committee of URSI) took place this year from February 1–3, 2017. It was held in Sophia Antipolis (Alpes-Maritimes) on Campus SophiaTech, a center dedicated to science, education, and new communication and information technologies. The overlying theme was “Radio science to the service of humanity.” This was a very broad subject that the Scientific Committee managed to cover with nine invited lectures and 65 selected presentations in eight main sessions. The three-day workshop had a very dense program (Figure 1 shows the call for papers).
