IIASA offers a summer program for PhD students to undertake a scientific project on a topic related to the IIASA research agenda. Two letters of reference are required (to be received by latest 24 hours past application.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

1. The program is designed for Ph.D. students (ideally about 2 years prior to receiving their Ph.D.) working on a topic compatible with ongoing research at IIASA and a wish to explore the policy implications of their work. Participants will be working under the direct mentorship of an experienced IIASA scientist in a unique interdisciplinary and international research environment. They will produce a paper (serving as the first step towards a publishable journal article) and will get the opportunity to build up contacts for future collaboration within the institute’s worldwide network.
2. Applicants can choose to work with up to two programs. We strongly encourage to carefully read through all program descriptions before making your decision.
3. Applicants from all countries are welcome, although IIASA gives priority to citizens or residents of National Member Organizations (NMO) countries.

BENEFITS

1. Most of their National Member Organizations (NMOs) provide grants to enable young scientists (either their own nationals or foreign students studying in their country) to participate in the YSSP. All successfully selected applicants will receive notification about funding shortly after the evaluation process.
2. The stipend varies slightly among NMOs, but usually it is € 1500 per month plus airfare. If you are not a citizen of or resident in an NMO country you must find alternative funds (either from your home institution or other sources) to finance your participation.
