Careers in climate research take many paths. What can we learn from the women building them?
Join CHOICE’s free webinar on 15 October to hear women working in climate and sustainability research share their professional journeys & lessons along the way.
As a CHOICE partner, IIASA helps bring people’s food choices and behavior into climate models, exploring what changes in diets and food systems could mean for emissions, health, and biodiversity. iiasa.ac.at/projects/choice

Using the Microsoft OpenAI partnership as an example, participants will examine how such novel partnerships can shape markets, innovation, and society, and how decision makers can make sense of complexity when the stakes are high and information is limited.
The Raiffa Academy: Better decisions in a complex world.

As part of the inaugural short course, Elena Rovenskaya, IIASA Advancing Systems Analysis Program Director, will lead a session exploring the systemic effects of strategic partnerships between tech giants and AI pioneers.
Inspired by the legacy of decision science pioneer Howard Raiffa, the Academy brings together researchers, policymakers & practitioners to apply systems thinking to today's most complex global challenges. Through professional development, it helps bridge the gap between science and decision making.
The world's biggest challenges rarely have simple solutions. They demand structured thinking, informed negotiation, and sound decision making. That is the vision behind the Raiffa Academy at IIASA.
What shaped Howard Raiffa's vision? His experience at IIASA. It inspired him to connect decision science with negotiation, diplomacy, and real-world impact. Today, that vision lives on through the Raiffa Academy. #RaiffaAcademy ▶️ iiasa.ac.at/blog/jun-2026/or…
Through research, professional training, fellowships, international dialogues, and a growing global network, the Raiffa Academy will empower researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to make better decisions and negotiate more effective solutions for the world's most pressing challenges. #IIASANetwork
The Academy's first Short Course launches this July, equipping participants with evidence-based methods for decision-making and negotiation.

❓What would it take to fully phase out fossil fuels by 2050?
⚡A lot more electricity. A new study by Kyoto University, Hokkaido University & IIASA, finds that a full fossil fuel phase-out by mid-century would require global electricity generation to grow 60–80% ▶️ iiasa.ac.at/news/may-2026/fu…
