Apply for Young Scientists Summer Program

YSSP fellows undertake a scientific project within the scope of their PhD on a topic related to the IIASA research agenda. The program runs from June to August at IIASA in Laxenburg, Austria, and participants have the opportunity to finalize their research papers from home in September.

Eligibility Criteria

• You are an advanced graduate student, ideally 1-2 years from PhD degree.
• Your field of study complements research at IIASA.
• You are interested in interdisciplinary research.
• You would like to apply your research to global challenges facing society.
• Your research and career would benefit from working alongside 50 young scientists, as well as senior researchers, from around the world.
• The program is designed for advanced Ph.D. students working on a topic compatible with ongoing research at IIASA and 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 a first step towards a publishable journal article) and get the opportunity to foster contacts for future collaboration within the institute’s worldwide network.
• Applicants from all countries are welcome, although IIASA gives priority to citizens or residents of Member Organizations (MO) countries.
