The Summer School will be held at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and partly on the premises of the International Anti-Corruption Agency (IACA), both of which are located in in Laxenburg, Lower Austria.
IIASA and IACA are located 15 km south of Vienna. The commute from Vienna to Laxenburg will take 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the location of your accommodation). IIASA is based in a former imperial palace located in Laxenburg.
IIASA is led by Director General Hans Joachim (John) Schellnhuber, a pioneering climate scientist, and Deputy Director General Karen Lips, an internationally recognized ecologist. Their vision and expertise shape the Institute’s response to today’s most complex global challenges, guiding research and policy engagement while their participation in key events and presence in the media highlight IIASA’s global impact.
The Systemic Risk and Resilience (SYRR) Group aims to assess and support the management of systemic anthropogenic and environmental risks. The SYRR research group analyses the increasingly systemic socio-ecological risks associated with global and local change, and with policy, practice and civil society co-generates options for building resilience.
The Integrated Biosphere Futures (IBF) group is firmly committed to encourage and foster the participation of early career researchers who express an interest in collaborating with us and wish to contribute to our initiatives. We offer diverse pathways for individuals to join our group, and we are particularly enthusiastic about engaging with researchers who share a keen interest in our methodologies and ongoing projects.
