URSI 2017: Report on the General Assembly in Montreal

The Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation operating under the International Council for Science, which promotes and coordinates international studies, research, applications, scientific collaborations and communications in the field of radio sciences.
From 19 to 26 August 2017, the 32nd General Assembly was held in Montreal, an event that takes place every three years and covers various areas of radio science, including radio astronomy.
In this presentation, I will give a brief report on the event, along with some impressions and reflections on it.
