The application window for the 2026 Summer School for Systems Modeling is now open! Apply by 26 February 2026, midnight CET. The Summer School itself will run from 29 June - 10 July 2026 in Laxenburg, Austria.

Find all the details and apply through the IIASA website >

In this summer school, IIASA provides systematic guidance on the development and use of mathematical and computer models, addressing uncertainties in data and processes, exploring solution spaces, and distilling viable options for taking policy action. Our goal is to equip you with a solid understanding of modeling practices and limitations of models.

The two-week course is designed for Master’s and PhD students, as well as post-doctoral researchers who wish to use or develop models broadly related to the sustainability agenda. It is open to newcomers but also to those who have already been exposed to modeling and would like to add depth to their experience. It is also open to systems researchers who would like to gain a better understanding of the available tools. Many examples we will discuss are taken from IIASA’s portfolio of tools and methods, ranging from ecological models, socioeconomic systems, to integrated assessment tools of energy, air, water, biodiversity, and food.

The Archimedes Center will support Israeli applicants who are accepted to the Summer School, subject to need and the availability of resources.
