IIASA and Israel are jointly organizing a workshop on models for environmental and energy policy analysis to celebrate the 50th IIASA anniversary.

This IIASA 50th anniversary event will feature a collaboration between IIASA and the Iran National Science Foundation (INSF) addressing global, regional and local challenges with systems analysis.

The systemic and uncertain risks facing the world today can have cascading impacts across systems and sectors. A new briefing note on systemic risk highlights that an integrated perspective that incorporates the inherently complex nature of climate-related hazards, vulnerability, exposure and impacts, is crucial to better understanding and responding to systemic risk.

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.

IIASA 50th anniversary celebrations will include a conference hosted by the Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC) and IIASA. The event will build on the expertise and interlinkages between the system analysts’ communities in Asia to discuss and analyze transformative approaches to achieving sustainability across multiple stakeholder, sectors and regions.

We are happy to announce the winner of the EDITS-ARTS Competition. The first prize goes to Futuregram2050, who created a powerful 2-minute video to portray a positive transformative future and has clearly adhered to the three evaluation criteria. The production has a compelling narrative that presents a balance between having access to modern technologies and services, using modern digital solutions, while at the same time also willing to limit their demand.  

As part of the IIASA 50th anniversary celebrations, the Finnish IIASA Committee, the Academy of Finland and IIASA are jointly organizing an alumni event in Finland. This event "IIASA 50th Anniversary Seminar on Systems Analysis: Science-based Support for Policy Makers" will welcome speakers from IIASA as well as Finnish researchers and IIASA alumni in Finland.
