International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)

Founded in 1972, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) is an international research organization that conducts policy-oriented research  into problems that are too large or too complex to be solved by a single country or academic discipline:

• problems like climate change that have a global reach and can be resolved only by international cooperative action, or
• problems of common concern to many countries that need to be addressed at the national level, such as energy security, population aging, and sustainable development.
