The Gender Equality and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Plan (GEP) 2026–2028 reaffirms IIASA’s commitment to a workplace where diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to institutional excellence, and where all employees – regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, ethnicity, or background – can thrive.
This third IIASA Gender Equality Report concludes the Gender Equality Plan (2023–2025) and aligns with the IIASA Strategy 2021–2030. It tracks progress on gender representation, workforce movement, addressing the gender pay gap, gender mainstreaming in science, work–life balance, and measures against gender-based violence.
IIASA, jointly with the Friends of IIASA, is establishing a Howard Raiffa Fellows Program in Negotiation and Decision Science. The Fellowship will bring scholars and practitioners to IIASA to support the Raiffa Academy’s objectives of providing systems analysis tools for science-based policy decisions, negotiations, and diplomacy; facilitating breakthrough dialogues; and building a trusted global network of policy advisors with decision and negotiation analysis expertise. Separate Fellowships will be offered to early career and senior researchers and experts.
The Howard Raiffa Academy, anchored at the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), is the hub of a global network of researchers, government officials, and decision analysts promoting the application of decision science and negotiation analysis methodologies in the development of solutions to complex, science-intensive policy challenges.

EDITS (short for Energy Demand changes Induced by Technological and Social innovations) is a global network of researchers, scientists, modelers and practitioners, who deepen knowledge and expertise on solutions and innovations that drastically reduce energy and material demand.
As part of their community work, the EDITS network organizes regular public webinars, which are collected on this page.
