Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP), Austria (2015)

Since 1977, IIASA’s annual 3-month Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) offers research opportunities to talented young researchers whose interests correspond with IIASA’s ongoing research on issues of global environmental, economic and social change.

Every summer from 1 June to 31 August, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) near Vienna, Austria, hosts up to 50 doctoral students from around the world in its Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP). Each YSSP participant works on a topic related to his or her PhD thesis and IIASA’s research agenda, the goal being to write a publishable paper. All YSSP participants are personally mentored by IIASA senior scientists.
