IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program 2013

Summer Fellowship in Austria for Doctoral Students in Natural and Social Sciences, Math, Policy and Engineering

Each summer, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), located in Schloss Laxenburg near Vienna, Austria, hosts a selected group of graduate students, primarily doctoral, from around the world in its Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP). These students work closely with IIASA's senior scientists on projects within the Institute's 3 theme areas. 

Funding is available for Fellows selected by IIASA, to cover travel to IIASA and a modest living allowance.

Most funding comes from IIASA's NMOs for students from member countries, but applicants from all nations are eligible to apply, and some unrestricted fellowships are available.
