In accordance with the Austrian government’s measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, COVID-19, IIASA premises in Laxenburg are closed. However, the institute remains operational via remote working.
IIASA is following all public health guidance issued by the Austrian government regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic and has closed its buildings in Laxenburg. Until there is a change in current government measures, researchers and support staff are working remotely from home and can be contacted by email.
