Each summer, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), located in Schloss Laxenburg near Vienna, Austria (http://www.iiasa.ac.at/ ) hosts a select group of graduate students 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, with the goal of a publishable paper.

In Pakistan, IIASA's NMO is the Pakistan Academy of Sciences and the NMO secretariat has recently moved to LUMS. The collaboration is being led by the Vice Chancellor LUMS, Dr. Adil Najam (Member, IIASA council) and Dr. Abubakr Muhammad (Secretary NMO). http://lums.edu.pk/iiasa-nmo/
