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.

IIASA continues to develop holistic solutions for tackling systemic challenges.
