About us
Each YSSP participant works on a topic related to his or her PhD thesis and to IIASA's own research agenda, the goal being to write a publishable paper. All YSSP participants are personally mentored by IIASA senior scientists.
Successful applicants from countries with an IIASA National Member Organization (NMO) are eligible for funding, and some fellowships are also available for students from non-NMO countries.
