International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)
We are an international research institute that advances systems analysis and applies its research methods to identify policy solutions to reduce human footprints, enhance the resilience of natural and socioeconomic systems, and help achieve the sustainable development goals.
Spotlight on Amrutha G.S. — YSSPer and Jyoti and Kirit Parikh Fellow at IIASA
For over 45 years, the IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) has offered opportunities for PhD students to learn about systems analysis and hone their professional skills at IIASA. As this year’s summer term comes to an end, IIASA science writer Vladimir Tarakanov interviewed Amrutha G.S., 2024 YSSP participant and Kirit Parikh Fellow, to learn more about her experiences at the Institute this summer.
Land Management for Sustainability (LAMASUS)
LAMASUS builds on i) decades of experience in direct policy support, ii) unique modeling tools, such as GLOBIOM, the only model that integrates agricultural and land use sectors, and CAPRI, MAGNET and CLUE, which underlie JRC’s land use policy assessments, and iii) novel approaches mobilizing machine learning and citizen science.
Supporting sustainable agriculture
The soil beneath our feet holds vital information for understanding agriculture, climate, and environmental sustainability. IIASA provides user friendly tools to support decision makers in developing national, regional, and global strategies for food security and the environment.
