Research programs

In 2021, IIASA established six new research programs to carry out the institute’s strategy, Reducing footprints, enhancing resilience, to develop and apply systems science to support transformations to sustainability.

The new IIASA research programs consolidate existing strengths at the institute while opening new avenues for research that facilitate the systemic approach required to deal with complex global sustainability challenges.

As part of a new two-tier organizational research structure, each research program incorporates newly defined research groups with their own empowered research group leaders.
