URSI accounts 2021

The basis of the income for URSI lies in the contributions by the URSI Member Committees, contributing in line with their "unit of contribution" and in line with their impact in Council. In addition to these contributions, and in order to be able to face new challenges, explore new possibilities or covering increased costs, efforts have been made to explore possible new resources from meetings through the establishment of yearly URSI Flagship meetings. These Flagship meetings constitute, in a three-year cycle, the URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GASS), the Atlantic Radio Science Conference (AT-RASC) and the Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (AP-RASC). Besides the indications that this will be of a financial benefit in the future, this has also fulfilled one of the main objectives of URSI, namely serving our community. From a scientific point of view, these yearly Flagship have been a major success and encouraging from a financial point of view.
