During their stay, each participant is required to prepare a research paper. Many of these papers are published in prestigious journals. Since 1977, over 1,970 young scientists from 87 countries have benefitted from the program. The 2018 program hosted 52 participants from 27 countries.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CyoEBnUyOSg?start=4&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>2018 program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iiasa.ac.at\/web\/home\/education\/yssp\/2018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Participants<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iiasa.ac.at\/web\/home\/education\/yssp\/Biosketch_Abstracts_2018_for_web_2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Biosketches and abstracts<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iiasa.ac.at\/web\/home\/education\/yssp\/2018_YSSP_Proceedings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proceedings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;2018 YSSP Awards&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#00589d&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;AR18 EXPANDABLE BOX&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22.7&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; body_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;rgba(106,76,147,0.34)&#8221; global_module=&#8221;983&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4 et_pb_bg_layout_light  et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p>IIASA has instituted two\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.iiasa.ac.at\/web\/home\/education\/yssp\/awards.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">annual awards<\/a>\u00a0for exceptional young scientists participating in the YSSP.
