Current Research
The world is faced with complex systems problems, too big for one country to solve alone. A research institute that is both international and neutral can discover effective solutions to global problems and facilitate their implementation. For over 30 years IIASA, the only such institution in the world, has helped many countries tackle major international issues by, for example, reducing air pollution and better managing land, water and energy resources.
The IIASA research areas covered a variety of natural and social science disciplines. The work is based on original state-of-the-art methodology and analytical approaches. The methods and tools generated are useful to both decision makers and the scientific community.
Its scientists help resolve key concerns, from energy security to climate change, providing practical and cost-efficient solutions covering all aspects of a problem, from the economic to the environmental, and from the local perspective to the international repercussions.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or research:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
