About this scholarship
Three-month mentored summer research programme for PhD students at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Laxenburg near Vienna, Austria, working on systems-analysis research with IIASA scientists.
Minimum requirements
Enrolled in a PhD, ideally within 1-2 years of completing; propose research connected to IIASA research areas; able to work independently; sufficient English; available full-time in person June-August at IIASA, Laxenburg near Vienna, Austria. Cohort of approximately 50 young scientists.
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.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
