The YSSP 2016 will host 51 elite young scientists from around the world, who are currently working on or have recently completed their PhD. During the program, participants work on independent research projects in collaboration with IIASA scientists. This year’s participants hail from 26 countries, and will work on projects within each of the institute’s nine research programs.
