The IIASA Population and Just Societies Program, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the University of Vienna are co-organizing the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2023 on Exploring Population Heterogeneities in a hybrid format at the premises of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
An Expert Group Meeting in preparation for HLPF 2023: Accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at all levels
IIASA Acting Director General Wolfgang Lutz has received the Austrian Research Association’s 2023 Science Prize for his excellent scientific achievements and the scientific-political relevance and high topicality of his research.
Western accounts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in China often paint a dystopian picture of an Orwellian surveillance state. But what really makes industry practitioners in the world's second-largest digital economy tick? 2022 IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) participant Junhua Zhu, wants to lift the veil, taking a deep dive into the Chinese AI ecosystem.
IIASA, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of the Republic of Armenia (MLSA), and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) have strengthened their cooperation in the area of demography and population through signing a trilateral Memorandum of Understanding.
Sustainability Performances, Evidence and Scenarios (SPES)
What is the Potential for Treated Wastewater to Meet Global Irrigation Needs? (GATWIP)
Africa is the continent that will be most adversely affected by climate change. IIASA researchers are collaborating on Yoma OR – an ambitious project aimed at helping young people grow their digital skills as a first step on a journey from learning to earning using AI, blockchain, and crowdsourcing.
RISK KAN is a Knowledge Action Network on Emergent Risks and Extreme Events that provides an open platform for scientific communities from across science disciplines and engineering working on extreme events, disaster risk reduction, and governance to exchange information, knowledge, and data and engage in collaborative research activities.
Modul University Vienna invites international scholars to share their expertise and present latest research. On 20 March, IIASA Principal Research Scholar, Brian Fath will present on "Human carrying capacity constraints and lessons from systems ecology".
IIASA ECE is excited to host the next in-person openmod workshop. The Open Energy Modelling (openmod) Initiative promotes open energy modelling across the world. Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to help answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions toward renewable energy sources.
A host of scientific chemistry and climate model experiments explore responses of the global atmosphere and climate systems to possible future changes in emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
The Pollution Management research group (formerly AIR program) has used its GAINS model to develop a set of global emission fields of nine substances that provide consistent sets of future sectoral emissions for well-specified assumptions on economic development and the effectiveness of dedicated emission control policies.
IIASA demographer, Anne Goujon is invited to deliver a keynote speech at the DGD Annual Conference 2023 organized by the German Society for Demography (DGD) in Koblenz.
