The fast economic growth in Vietnam’s urban areas and the the lack of control of polluting sources are causing public health problems and significant environmental degradation, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, undermining the potential for sustainable socioeconomic development of the country and impacting the poor.

Well-being, happiness, quality of life or life satisfaction are the ultimate goals of any human, regardless of status, profession, wealth, religion, or nationality. Governments begin to focus their attention directly on the multidimensional national well-being, including and going beyond economic and material aspects. They look for new under-utilized resources that would raise the national well-being even despite weak economic growth. To discover effective and efficient solutions, one needs to maximize synergies and reduce losses from trade-offs. Systems analysis offers tools to do so.
Research Project
UNCNET is a three-year project funded under the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe in collaboration with the Chinese National Science Foundation. It tackles existing and future challenges of urban sustainability that are closely connected to the fate of reactive nitrogen compounds.
Research Project
IIASA is partner and work package leader on EMERGE - Evaluation, control and Mitigation of the Environmental impacts of shipping, an innovative 4-year research project looking to find solutions to pollution caused by shipping. IIASA collaborates with 18 organizations across Europe on the project which is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program.
Research Project
The Austrian transport sector is crucially governed by “systemic delays”, caused by long-lasting infrastructure and vehicle stocks in operation for multiple years. In PETRA, these characteristics are linked with policies that had a succinct impact on the transport sector in the past to improve evaluating the delay and effectiveness of future policies.
Research Project
The ERC PoC project Picture Pile Platform is an innovative, commercially self-sustaining platform that uses the crowdsourcing game Picture Pile for efficiently and intuitively classifying images for machine learning. It will offer a standardized, easy-to-use way for everyone to freely and quickly set-up their own picture pile campaigns for collecting image classifications by the crowd in a gamified environment, where participation is incentivized through extrinsic and intrinsic motivations.
Research Project
RapidAI4EO aims to advance rapid and continuous land monitoring with state-of-the-art AI solutions. Under the sponsorship of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program, RapidAI4EO will establish the foundations for the next generation of Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) products.
Research Project
World Cover aims to produce, deliver and validate, as fast as possible, a global land cover map at 10m resolution with a mapping of a minimum of 10 land cover classes and a minimum overall accuracy of 75%. The project is user driven, aiming at a maximum impact of the global land cover map to a set of end-user organizations.
Research Project
IIASA is a core member of the Flood Resilience Alliance, an innovative partnership between research, development and humanitarian NGOs and the private sector that works together for making at step change with regard to policy, finance and practice of managing floods and other climate-related hazards towards increased community resilience.
Research Project
The Platform Value Now project funded by Finland’s Strategic Research Council focuses on understanding the fast emerging platform economic ecosystems, their value creation dynamics and requirements of the supportive institutional environment. It analyzes economic ecosystems with systems tools and develop new methods for platform-centric economic ecosystems management.
Research Project
The Systemic Risk and Network Dynamics project will examine how different types of systems, ranging from financial to ecological and beyond, are at risk of cascades of failures. As well as assessing this risk, this cross-cutting project will develop tools to help prevent such events.
Research Project
RESTORE+ aims at enhancing land use planning capacity related to restoration in Indonesia and Brazil. The project addresses restoration potential with a comprehensive assessment of degradation and restoration, combining the identification of degraded areas, multi-objective modelling and trade-off analysis.
