YSSP Fellowships

Name or endow a YSSP fellowship and leave a lasting legacy at IIASA!

In 2011, IIASA established an endowed YSSP fellowship program that closely links a YSSP fellow with the donor. These fellowships can be named after a donor or someone the donor wishes to honor. Recipients of named YSSP fellowships are offered ample opportunities to communicate with the donor regarding their research progress and some choose to cite this distinction in their publications as a special form of recognition to the donor.

Named YSSP fellowships are paramount to IIASA recruiting young researchers from around the world who show great promise and encouraging them to expand their careers at our institute.

During their time at IIASA, YSSP fellows attend seminars, master classes and conferences designed to strengthen their professional skills and leadership capabilities, thereby helping to fortify the systems analysis sector itself. With the knowledge they gain at IIASA and the relationships they build, YSSP fellows return to their alma mater institutes with broader research perspectives and new problem-solving skills to share with their colleagues.

Minimum gift: €5,000
