YSSP<\/h2>\n

The flagship Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP)<\/a> at IIASA continues to train the young researchers of today to find the solutions of tomorrow. 50 graduate students from 26 countries spent the summer of 2015 in Laxenburg to work on their research projects in IIASA\u00a0programs.<\/p>\n

In total over 1,800 YSSP participants have benefited from the opportunity to work at IIASA with some of the leading scientists in their fields. Since its launch in 1977, participants of the program have gone on to achieve high positions in science, business, and governments around\u00a0the\u00a0world.<\/p>\n

Winter 2014\/2015 also saw the third successful year of the Southern African Young Scientists Summer Program (SA-YSSP)<\/a>, a regional expansion of the YSSP. 36 students from 21 countries took part in the program at the University of the Free State in\u00a0Bloemfontein.<\/p>\n

Awards<\/h2>\n

In 2015 Carlijn Hendriks<\/a> won the Peccei Award<\/strong>, given for rigorous research during her time in the Young Scientists Summer Program. A PhD student at the TNO (the Dutch Institute for Applied Sciences), Hendriks won the award for her paper \u201cImpact of EU climate and air quality policy on future ground level ozone concentrations and damage in Europe.\u201d Hendriks came to IIASA as a participant of the Young Scientist Summer Program and worked in the IIASA Mitigation of Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases\u00a0Program\u00a0(MAG).<\/p>\n

Zhimin Mao<\/a>, a PhD student at the Pardee RAND Graduate School and an assistant policy analyst at the RAND Corporation, received an honorable mention<\/strong> for her paper on: \u201cEvaluation of costs and effectiveness of Pearl River Delta\u2019s Air Pollution Reduction Action Plan.\u201d Mao also spent her summer\u00a0in\u00a0MAG.<\/p>\n

The Mikhalevich Award<\/strong>, given to students who use mathematical tools to solve real-world questions, was awarded to Celian Colon<\/a> of France for his study, \u201cSystemic risks and cascading disruptions in complex supply chains,\u201d with the IIASA Evolution and Ecology Program (EEP). An honorable mention<\/strong> went to Hanna ten Brink<\/a>, from the Netherlands, for her paper, \u201cThe origin of metamorphosis and its consequences for harvested fish populations,\u201d who also worked\u00a0with\u00a0EEP.<\/p>\n

The awards provide financial support for the winners to return to IIASA to continue their research\u00a0projects.<\/p>\n

Scholarships<\/h1>\n

Two young scientists benefited from IIASA funding<\/a> in 2015, through the new Roger Levien Fellowship<\/strong> and the Petr Aven Fellowship<\/strong>. Natalia Borisevich<\/a>, of the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Science, Russia, was awarded the Petr Aven Fellowship. Borisevich worked in the Ecosystems Services and Management Program on a project estimating the economic value of ecosystem services provided by protected areas.<\/p>\n

Zhimin Mao<\/a>, of the Pardee RAND Graduate School, was awarded the first Roger Levien Fellowship, enabling her to work on air pollution in China in the Mitigation of Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases Program.<\/p>\n

Postdocs<\/h1>\n

There were 14 postdoctoral researchers at IIASA in 2015, funded by different sources. The Postdoctoral Program allows these early\u2011career scientists to research a topic related to the scientific agenda at IIASA and hone their skills in systems analysis.<\/p>\n
