The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)

An easy access link to The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis(IIASA) has been added to my list of  Forsight-Hindsight Institutes and Videos.  The 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.

IIASA research investigates the critical issues of global environmental, economic, technological, and social change that we face in the twenty-first century. The researchers, some 200 mathematicians, social scientists, natural scientists, economists, and engineers, develop assessment and decision-support methodologies, global databases, and analytical tools to study the issues. IIASA concentrates its research efforts within three core research themes:

• Energy and Climate Change;
• Food and Water;
• Poverty and Equity.
