Are you a researcher in possession of a doctoral degree and with no more than eight years of full-time equivalent research experience? Discover the opportunities of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships for researchers at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.
IIASA Interim Deputy Director General for Science Wolfgang Lutz is invited for an hour talk organized by the ORF-Radiokulturhaus and Ö1 to exchange ideas about the future.
To mitigate the adverse effects of mining activities, high-resolution maps of mining sites are necessary. In a new study, researchers created a large-scale, openly accessible, global map that almost doubles the coverage of previous datasets.
Citizen science is increasingly recognized as an important vehicle for democratizing science and promoting the goal of universal and equitable access to scientific data and information. IIASA researchers actively contribute to the development of this scientific approach and have recently published a primer aimed at both established and aspiring practitioners of citizen science to highlight key issues and how to address them.
In the IIASA Strategic Initiative fairSTREAM, we created a toolkit of participatory methods that can be adapted to facilitate co-production of knowledge. Co-produced knowledge integrates diverse scientific and social discourses to create relevant and legitimate opportunities in the context of complex problems. The TRUST Strategic Initiative, will expand this toolkit, highlighting its evolving nature.
As part of the institute's 50th anniversary celebrations, the National Research Foundation (NRF), in partnership with IIASA, the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and the British Council jointly hosted a symposium showcasing the Next Generation of Systems Analysts.
Two-stage optimal control models are a useful tool to model stochastic shocks, which have the potential to significantly alter the characteristics of a dynamic system, but cannot be controlled by the decision maker. Applications can be found in a wide range of topics including health and environmental economics. The Julia package recently received and update to version v0.2.0.
To feed Africa’s growing population, agricultural-food systems need to be modernized. In a new study, researchers analyzed how continental free trade and agricultural development could ensure sustainable food security for Africa.
IIASA is proud to announce that Director General Albert van Jaarsveld will serve on the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) President’s Advisory Council.
The Economic Frontiers Program will have a workshop on the mathematical modelling of resilience and disruptive changes from 22-23 September 2022 at IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria.
Current severe heatwaves that will likely increase in severity and frequency in the future are driving a rise in the use of air conditioners, threatening the environment with their high energy consumption and refrigerants with high warming potential. A new study finds that switching to propane as a refrigerant could lessen the global temperature increase from space cooling.
