Funding
IIASA's main funding comes from prestigious scientific institutions, its National Member Organizations (NMOs), in 20 countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Additional funding comes from contracts, grants, and donations from governments, international organizations, academia, business, and individuals. These diverse income sources enable IIASA to perform research that is truly independent. Annual income in 2011 was a little under €17 million.
In addition, two special funds exist at IIASA to facilitate private donations. These are the Endowment Fund which helps further innovative scientific research and the Annual Fund which finances the participation of young scientists in the Program.
In 2011 IIASA’s income was €16.8 million, 52% of which came from National Member Organizations and 46% from contracts, grants, and donations.
