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 English language may hold a more disagreeable combination of words than “The doctor will see you now.” I am willing to concede something to the phrase “Have you anything to say before the current is turned on?””
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
