Peter de Jánosi Visiting YSSP Faculty

We are pleased to announce the availability of Peter de Jánosi Travel Grants for graduate advisors of YSSP Fellows from U.S. institutions. These De Jánosi Grants will support travel and living expenses for a visit of up to 2 weeks by the YSSPer’s advisor, in order to foster institutional collaboration as an outgrowth of the YSSP Fellowship.

YSSPers and their faculty adviser may apply for a Fellowship to support your advisor’s visit to IIASA during your participation in the program. Applications should briefly describe the rationale for the visit, and must be accompanied by an invitation for the faculty member’s visit from the sponsoring IIASA Project or the YSSP leadership. We will ask for a brief report on the outcome and value of the additional interactions after the end of YSSP 2023.

Dr. Peter De Jánosi was a critical force in the development of and support for the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) from its founding in 1972 through the end of his six-year term as IIASA Director in 1996. As Director, he guided IIASA’s transition from its role as a bridge between East and West during the Cold War to an international research organization addressing the global problems confronting nations, both North and South.

The Peter De Jánosi Program of YSSP Advisor Travel Grants supports his vision of vital American participation in IIASA’s global research program.

Sincerely yours,

Adil Najam Maggie Goud Collins
