The scope of the Annual Symposium is to give attendees (i) a high-level view of UK radar activity and opportunities through a series of invited talks by leading radar practitioners and (ii) the opportunity to learn about current research through a large and vibrant poster session. We also hold a vote for members of the Steering Committee. We invite submissions of posters (A1 portrait format) from industry, government and academia and there will be a Poster Prize for the best poster from a PhD student.

 

2.  The MODEST Focus Group (Modern trends in short and medium range sensing, https://www.emsig.org.uk/modest) meeting will be on Wednesday 3rd September in the Bessie Watson lecture theatre in the Outreach Centre, 9c Holyrood Road, Edinburgh, EH8 8JW, which is just a short walk from Old College.

The scope of this focus group is to bring together academics, industrialists, and potential end-users working on development of radar technologies intended to provide sensing and, ultimately situational awareness at short ranges, from tens of cm to ranges on the order of a kilometre. We invite submissions of presentations (~15-20 mins) and posters (A1 portrait format)  from industry, government and academia.
