Application checklist
- Confirm you are enrolled in a PhD, ideally within 1-2 years of completing
- Draft a research proposal connected to IIASA research areas
- Confirm you can attend full-time in person at Laxenburg from June to August 2027
- Check which funding route applies to your country (National Member Organization or non-NMO fellowship)
- Submit the application before 23:00 CET on 10 January 2027
Application tips
- The proposal must connect to IIASA's own research areas, not just to sustainability in general, so read the IIASA research pages before drafting.
- Full-time in-person attendance for the whole June-August period is required; part-time or remote participation is not the programme model.
- Because funding varies by NMO, confirm your funding route before you apply, not after acceptance.
