International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)

IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program 2027

A three month research summer at IIASA in Laxenburg, near Vienna, that brings around 50 doctoral researchers together with IIASA mentors from 1 June to 27 August 2027. There is no tuition fee, funding is considered automatically, and PhD students from Nigeria and across Africa can apply.

Eligibility: Be enrolled in a PhD programme, ideally within one to two years of completing your degree.

Deadline

January 10, 2027

Location

Africa

Funding or benefit

IIASA does not charge a tuition fee for the programme. Grants are available through IIASA Member Organizations and other funding sources, including private donations, and eligible applicants are considered automatically as part of the YSSP selection process with no separate funding application. Grants generally provide approximately EUR 1,700 per month for three months, plus return travel costs to Vienna, and exact amounts and conditions depend on the funding source. IIASA says it is typically able to secure funding for the large majority of participants, particularly those from countries represented by IIASA Member Organizations, but funding cannot be guaranteed for individual applicants.
