As countries compete for skilled workers and grapple with aging populations and labor shortages, understanding who is moving across borders is increasingly important. A new study provides the first global dataset of immigration composition disaggregated simultaneously by age, sex, and educational attainment, offering a new basis for tracking brain gain and brain drain and improving population projections.

The Indicators of Global Climate Change (IGCC) dashboard presents the latest evidence on emissions, warming, and other changes across the climate system in an accessible visual format. This is the first year that the climate dashboard has been maintained by IIASA, with the support of the Copernicus Climate Change Service.

Join us as IIASA celebrates the Postdoc Appreciation Week (PAW) Austria – a national collaborative initiative that unites researchers, research institutions, postdoc office coordinators, and research managers to celebrate and recognize the outstanding contributions of postdoctoral researchers across Austria.

Global temperature rise is set to cross 1.5°C within the next few years, pushing climate risks to increasingly dangerous heights. However, it is still possible to limit the magnitude and duration of overshoot and bring temperatures back down, according to a new UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report, to which several IIASA researchers contributed as authors.

IIASA Director General Hans Joachim (John) Schellnhuber will participate in NEW bauhaus 2026, an innovation festival bringing together leading voices from architecture, construction, real estate, science, politics, and the creative industries to explore the future of the built environment.

IIASA will host a one-day expert workshop in support of the European Commission’s ongoing work to develop a methodology for certifying long-term carbon storage in buildings under the Carbon Removals Certification Framework (CRCF). The workshop will bring together policymakers, scientists, and technical experts to explore how carbon stored in buildings and other long-lived products can be accounted for in a scientifically robust, time-explicit, and policy-consistent manner.

This year, the IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) brought together 52 young professionals living or studying in 15 countries around the world for a summer of new friendships and experiences, interdisciplinary research, collaboration, and scientific exchange.

The final LAMASUS conference will showcase the project’s data, modelling tools, scenarios and governance approach for evidence-based EU land-use and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Researchers, stakeholders and European Commission representatives will discuss the project’s legacy and how its outputs can support future policymaking.
