The IIASA Council, wishing to honor outstanding contributions made to the development of the Institute and to the advancement of its objectives, created in November 1975 (Council resolution 35) the award "IIASA Honorary Scholar" to be conferred by unanimous Council decision for exemplary dedication to the Institute's ideals and distinguished scholarly achievement.
The IIASA Retirement Benefits Plan is established as a contributory savings and investment scheme.
The objective of the Plan is to provide members with a capital sum upon their retirement, or early retirement, or upon leaving the Plan. The Plan does not pay pensions or enter into contracts of annuity or insurance.
Further specific RBP information is available only internally to IIASA, and via the IIASA portal.
Vienna is organized into 23 districts ('Bezirke'), the first being the city center and the succeeding numbers fanning out like a snail-shell into the suburbs. The commute from Vienna to IIASA will take 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the location of your accommodation) as the institute is based in a former imperial palace located in Laxenburg, Lower Austria.
