Subject: Apply Now for IIASA YSSP! Applications due in on 13 January!
To: IIASA YSSP Alumni

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

You have all benefitted from the IIASA YSSP Program; please help to spread the word that the application deadline is approaching.   There's still time to get applications prepared!

Each summer, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), located in Schloss Laxenburg near Vienna, Austria, hosts a selected group of graduate students, primarily doctoral, from around the world in its Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP). These students work closely with IIASA's senior scientists on projects related both to their thesis research and one or more IIASA research programs.

 I am writing to ask for your help in publicizing IIASA's YSSP Program for 2014.  The application deadline is January 13, and we want to spread the word about this great opportunity as widely as possible.  Please help by forwarding the announcement to as many appropriate graduate students, graduate department secretaries, university careers offices, and listservs as possible.

Apply online at http://www.iiasa.ac.at/web/home/education/yssp/Apply/ConditionsEligibility/Conditions-and-Eligibility.en.html 
The question most frequently asked concerns funding.  For students selected to participate, funding is available for travel and living support, principally from IIASA's twenty-one National Member Organizations (NMOs), who fund primarily students from NMO countries.  However, applicants from all nations are eligible to apply, and some unrestricted fellowships  are available.

The flyer below describes the program, and contains links to details related to applications, eligibility, and funding.

IIASA is an international, nongovernmental research institution located just outside Vienna, Austria, supported by its twenty-one National Member Organizations.  IIASA is known for its interdisciplinary research, combining natural and social sciences with integrated assessment techniques and advanced mathematical methodologies, with a goal of providing policy insight on issues of regional and global importance in the following fields:

GLOBAL PROBLEM AREAS
*       Energy and Climate Change
*       Food and Water
*       Poverty and Equity

PROGRAM AREAS
*       Energy
*       Transitions to New Technologies
*       Advanced Systems Analysis
*       Ecosystem Services and Management
*       Mitigation of Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases
*       Evolution and Ecology
*       World Population
*       Risk Policy and Vulnerability

Please help by forwarding this announcement to as many appropriate graduate students, graduate department secretaries, university careers offices, and listservs as possible.

Many thanks for your help.

During the summer months, young scientists research and produce a paper with a policy-related theme that will be considered for publication. They are also encouraged to attend seminars and workshops to broaden their perspectives and strengthen their analytical and presentation skills.

The program is open to advanced PhD students from all over the world.

"I benefited a lot from the YSSP and was always amazed of the richness of knowledge and expertise and no wonder that IIASA, in particular the Forestry Program, is one of the world class research centres. I came back to Edinburgh with new tools and expertise that will help me to work on PhD research with ease."

Stephy Makungwa
YSSP 2010




"I will never forget this summer for many reasons. I have definitely matured as a scientist through the interaction with my supervisors and the rest of the YSSPers, and also with other IIASA staff. The feedback received about my research, as well as the numbers of scientific activities throughout the summer have helped me enormously."
Participant

"The program provides a very unique working atmosphere to learn the latest skills and techniques for answering research complex questions/issues of global concern. I would certainly encourage my colleagues and friends to apply for the YSSP and join a new genre of young scientists with global vision."
