Interest on Driving Urban Transitions Partnership – Joint Call 2026

Senior Research Scholar at International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)

Vienna, Austria

About

We are interested in project cooperation under the DUT 2026 Circular Urban Economies pathway, particularly on integrated approaches to make urban systems more circular, resource-efficient and environmentally sustainable.

IIASA can contribute expertise in systems modelling, scenario analysis and environmental assessment across a broad range of urban resource and waste streams. Our work covers municipal solid waste, food and organic waste, waste prevention, reuse, recycling, resource recovery and circular economy strategies, with particular expertise in assessing impacts on greenhouse gas emissions, methane and air pollution.

We are interested in collaborations that explore how cities can reduce primary resource demand, prevent waste, retain materials and resources in productive use, and develop more circular production and consumption systems. We can support the development of baselines and future scenarios, assessment of alternative circularity strategies, analysis of trade-offs and synergies, and evaluation of environmental impacts and mitigation potential.

We are particularly interested in cooperating with municipalities, city networks, research organisations, businesses and technology providers working on circular urban systems, sustainable production, secondary resources, waste and resource management, and innovative circular solutions.
