Young Scientist Summer Program (YSSP) at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) (01/12/26)
Posted: 11/20/2025 ()
The Young Scientist Summer Program (YSSP) at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), is currently accepting applications to its 2026 program. The closing date is January 12, 2026 at midnight CET.
The program, which takes place from June to August, is designed for PhD students (ideally about 2 years prior to receiving their PhD) 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 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. YSSP particularly welcomes applications of candidates interested in human-centered and population-based approaches to understanding drivers of population change, sustainable development, and wellbeing.
Deadline: 01/12/2026
