 Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

I am writing to ask for your help in publicizing IIASA's YSSP Program for
2013.  The application deadline is January 14, 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, and post the flyer anywhere you think a potential applicant
might see it.  (The information appended below is identical to the
information on the flyer.)  Apply online at
http://webarchive.iiasa.ac.at/yssp/register/

  

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 National Member Organizations (NMOs), who
fund primarily students from NMO countries. (Please note: Indonesia and
Australia became IIASA NMO countries in 2012, so they will support YSSP
students.) However, applicants from all nations are eligible to apply, and
some unrestricted fellowships  are available.

 

Please contact the Tanja Huber, IIASA's YSSP Coordinator, with questions
about the program.  She can be reached at  <mailto:poor at iiasa.ac.at>
huber at iiasa.ac.at.  Specific questions about eligibility for NMO funding can
be directed to the NMOs; their contact information is found at

IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program 2013

Summer Fellowship in Austria for Doctoral Students in Natural and Social
Sciences, Math, Policy and Engineering

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 within the Institute's 3 theme areas. 

 

Funding is available for Fellows selected by IIASA, to cover travel to IIASA
and a modest living allowance.

Most funding comes from IIASA's NMOs for students from member countries, but
applicants from all nations are eligible to apply, and some unrestricted
fellowships are available.
