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:
“A man is a little thing whilst he works by and for himself, but, when he gives voice to the rules of love and justice, is godlike, his word is current in all countries; and all men, though his enemies are made his friends and obey it as their own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
