In 2025, the GRSS, MTT-S and AP-S will continue this partnership and further substantiate this program, with the aim to strengthen and increase the collaboration and professional synergy among the three societies. It will create cross-sectorial and multidisciplinary distinguished lectures in the fields of mutual and common interest to GRSS, MTT-S and AP-S, based on an agreed cost-sharing scheme.
