*Subject:* IIASA YSSP 2012: Summer Fellowship Opportunity for Graduate
Students

To:  IIASA Friends and Colleagues

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to ask for your help in publicizing IIASA's YSSP Program
for 2012.  The application *deadline is January 16*, and we want to
spread the word about this great opportunity as widely as possible.
Please help by forwarding the announcement to as many appropriate
graduate students, graduate department secretaries, university careers
offices, and listservs as possible, and post the flyer anywhere you
think a potential applicant might see it.  (The information appended
below is identical to the information on the flyer.)

The question most frequently raised concerns funding.  For students
selected to participate, funding is available for travel and living
support, principally from IIASA's sixteen National Member Organizations
(NMOs). The U.S. NMO funds both American citizens and non-citizens who
are studying in the U.S.

We are looking forward to another successful YSSP year and appreciate
anything you can do to help get the word out.

Please contact me if you have questions about U.S. participation, or
Tanja Huber, IIASA's YSSP Coordinator, with general questions about the
program.  She can be reached at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Very truly yours,

Maggie Goud Collins

IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program 2012

Each summer, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis
(IIASA), located in Schloss Laxenburg near Vienna, Austria, hosts a
selected group of graduate students, primarily doctoral, from around the
world in its Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP). These students work
closely with an IIASA senior scientist mentor on a project proposed by
the student, related to his or her graduate research.

*Fellows selected by IIASA will receive funding to cover travel to IIASA
and a modest living allowance.*
