Life at IIASA is special! YSSP participants become part of the IIASA family allowing them to extend their professional network, make new friends and explore the cultural treasures of Vienna and its surroundings.
Vienna is organized into 23 districts ('Bezirke'), the first being the city center and the succeeding numbers fanning out like a snail-shell into the suburbs. The commute from Vienna to IIASA will take 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the location of your accommodation) as the institute is based in a former imperial palace located in Laxenburg, Lower Austria.
