The IIASA science communication fellowship is a highly competitive program that immerses early-career science communicators in the dynamic work of the IIASA Communications Department.
The IIASA Science Communication Fellowship, established in 2016, provides the opportunity for one to two early-career science communicators to gain hands-on experience in the IIASA Communications Department each summer. The fellowship starts on 27 May and ends on 30 August. This funded 3-month placement is ideal for early-career science communication professionals.
IIASA research focuses on complex global environmental, economic, technological, and social change that we face in the 21st century. These research findings provide important input to policymakers to shape the future of our changing world. And science communication helps provide the bridge between researchers, policymakers, and the general public.
