Join us for the German "IIASA Day" on 17 September at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) or online to learn more about IIASA, explore systems analysis research in different context, and network with experts.
We are delighted to invite you to the German IIASA Networking Event: "Systems analysis for a sustainable and peaceful future," in collaboration with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).
Together with IIASA, the German IIASA Association has put together an exciting program on systems analysis research in different contexts, with a focus on sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa and Science Diplomacy. We hope for stimulating discussions, lively exchanges, and ideas for future cooperation.
The program is constantly updated.
