IIASA is a non-governmental research organization sponsored by scientific organizations in 16 countries. The institute conducts interdisciplinary scientific studies on environmental, economic, technological and social issues in the context of human dimensions of global change.
In their study of environmental, economic, technological, and social developments, IIASA researchers generate methods and tools useful to both decision makers and the scientific community. The work is based on original state-of-the-art methodology and analytical approaches linking a variety of natural and social science disciplines. Since its inception in 1972, IIASA has been the site of successful international scientific collaboration in addressing areas of concern for all societies, such as global climate change, energy, acid rain, forest decline, water resources, the social and economic implications of population change, risk and the theory and methods of systems analysis. |
