The purpose of this program is to collaborative research projects at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The projects will relate both to their doctoral studies and to IIASA research that uses systems analysis methods to address major societal problems.
Thematic areas-

- Energy and Climate Systems
- Ecosystems and Water
- Population, Health and Aging
Eligibility & Criteria-
- PhD students from South Africa, sub-Saharan African countries, and other IIASA member countries are eligible to apply.
- Participants are expected to be resident at the University of the Free State for the SA-YSSP’s entire 3-month period and to engage in the necessary preparations and follow-up activities. With approval by the SA-YSSP supervisors, participants are allowed to take up to five days of leave for personal or professional reasons, potentially including the December holiday break. Participants commit to the timely submission of their SA-YSSP research reports and to working towards submitting a resultant manuscript to an international scientific journal after the SA-YSSP.
