The Anniversary Fund of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) funded a new project on the Macroeconomic Effects of Digitalisation in Austria (W4.0) of the ASA-EM research group.

Over the next three years, more than 120 scientists will be working on a new comprehensive climate report for Austria. IIASA is taking a leading role in the activities with IIASA researchers Keywan Riahi and Daniel Huppmann serving as co-chairs of the Austrian Panel on Climate Change.

The institute’s 50th anniversary provides a perfect moment to take stock of its achievements as we look to the future. Join us on a journey through time as we highlight 50 major IIASA achievements of the past half century.

Sustaining Biodiversity: A Challenge for Science and Policy

This two-day event in cooperation with the Austrian Academy of Sciences will begin with an evening event on 16 November 2022 that demonstrates how systems analysis can contribute to solving many of today’s global challenges as well as explore the future of this transdisciplinary field. The second day will feature a major international conference on systems analysis.

In November 2019, IIASA cohosted the annual global meeting of science advisors to ministers of foreign affairs and other experts to discuss pressing issues in science diplomacy.
