Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) in Austria for Graduate Students in Natural and Social Sciences, Math, Policy and Engineering. Each summer, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) 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 within the Institute’s 3 theme areas of Natural Resources & Environment, Population & Society, and Energy & Technology. The U.S. Committee for IIASA provides airfare and a modest living allowance for the applicants from American institutions who are selected to participate. For more details, please see the IIASA Website: http://www.iiasa.ac.at/
