The 2025 URSI Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (URSI AP-RASC 2025) is sponsored by the International Union of Radio Science (URSI), and will be held in Sydney, Australia on August 17-22, 2025. This triennial conference is one of the three URSI Flagship Conferences that include the URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (URSI GASS) and the URSI Atlantic Radio Science Conference (URSI AT-RASC).

The scientific program will have a series of open and convened sessions covering the areas of URSI Commissions A to K, comprising oral/poster sessions with invited and contributed papers and General Lectures. In addition, there will be workshops, short courses, young scientist programs including the Young Scientist Award and the Student Paper Competition, an accompanying persons’ program, and an exhibition.
