Thank you for your support § YSSP Fund: Olugbemisola Samuel of Nigeria and Nemi Vora of India participated in the Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP), funded by our donors. Samuel, who studies air pollution in West Africa, joined the World Population Program. Vora, who works on the interdependencies between food, energy, and water systems, joined the Advanced Systems Analysis Program for her summer work. § Petr Aven Fellowship: The Petr Aven Fellowship offers funding each year for one advanced graduate student from Russia or a developing country that is not a member of IIASA to participate in the YSSP. This year’s awardee, Dmitrii Iakubovskii of Russia, joined the Risk and Resilience Program to do research on the reliability of electrical power systems. § Roger Levien Fellowship: Recognizing the vital role of science communication in bringing about policy change towards sustainable development, this year, former IIASA director Roger Levien funded a IIASA Science Communication Fellow. The awardee, Parul Tewari of India, worked in the IIASA Communications Department to help communicate IIASA research to a wider audience. Donate for 2018 With your support, IIASA will be able to continue international and truly independent scientific investigation into today’s global challenges. Your help will make the voice of researchers stronger in global policymaking. Your investment in young researchers will help them develop tomorrow’s solutions to today’s global problems.
