About International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)
The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) is an independent, international research institute with National Member Organizations in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. IIASA in other to address issues too large or complex to be solved by a single country or academic discipline has put together the Young Scientists Summer Program to train and equip young scientists in the field of applied systems analysis. Such challenges as climate change, biodiversity, energy security, and sustainable development, must be solved by international cooperation

Aim and Benefits of Young Scientists Summer Program
Most of the institute’s National Member Organizations (NMOs) provide special grants to enable young scientists (either their own nationals or foreign students studying in their country) to participate in the YSSP.
The stipend varies slightly among NMOs, but usually it is € 1500 per month plus airfare
Requirements for Young Scientists Summer Program Qualification
The program is designed for Ph.D. students (ideally about 2 years prior to receiving their Ph.D.) working on a topic compatible with ongoing research at IIASA and a wish to explore the policy implications of their work. Participants will be working under the direct mentorship of an experienced IIASA scientist in a unique interdisciplinary and international research environment. They will produce a paper (serving as the first step towards a publishable journal article) and will get the opportunity to build up contacts for future collaboration within the institute’s worldwide network.
Applicants can choose to work with up to two programs. We strongly encourage to carefully read through all program descriptions before making your decision.
Applicants from all countries are welcome, although IIASA gives priority to citizens or residents of National Member Organizations (NMO) countries.
Participation in the YSSP is only possible for one summer (however, you may apply several times) and you will need to be present at the institute (i.e., no fieldwork or working remotely) for the full duration of the program.
Application Deadline: January 12, 2024
