The institute advances members in the field of systems analysis; applies a systems analysis lens to complex problems that require an integrated, scalable and neural approach; and, builds a global network of scholars and practitioners dedicated to systems analysis to find long-lasting solutions to complex interconnected challenges. The institute is located in a beautiful former 18th century imperial palace of the Habsburg Monarchy in the town Laxenburg, just outside of Vienna. Surrounded by Laxenburg park, the institute offers plenty of opportunities for sports and contemplating nature.
