your own PC! You can also join the discussions by sharing your  
thoughts on the IIASA Blog at www.iiasa.ac.at/blog during the  
conference.

IIASA scientists will present their latest work on global population  
change, natural resource scarcity and energy and technology. This  
year, 16 IIASA scientists contributed to the report of the Inter- 
Governmental Panel on Climate Change, recipient of the Nobel Peace  
Prize.

Addressing these problems through cross-cutting scientific research  
is a major aim of IIASA, an international research institute, based  
in Austria since 1972. This 35th anniversary conference, held in  
cooperation with the Austrian Foreign Ministry, will be addressed by  
Austria's President Heinz Fischer, as well as by the Science Minister  
Johannes Hahn and the Foreign Ministry's State Secretary, Hans Winkler.
