Subject: [nsa-fellows] Fwd: For Graduate Students interested in Global
Change - IIASA
To: NSA-Fellows(a)lists.landinstitute.org
To: IIASA Government Liaisons
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to ask for your help in publicizing an excellent summer
opportunity for graduate students interested in relating their work to
global change issues. The International Institute for Applied Systems
Analysis (IIASA), located just outside Vienna, Austria, each year
sponsors a fellowship program for graduate students who are studying
in fields relevant to IIASA's work on global change issues. About
50-60 graduate students from around the world spend the summer working
closely with IIASA senior researchers, on projects relevant to each
student's thesis topic. They end the summer with an international
network of colleagues interested in various aspects of global change
issues, and often have produced a paper that can be published.
The application deadline for the 2007 YSSP Program is January 15, 2007
and we want to spread the word about this great opportunity as widely
as possible. Please help by forwarding the announcement to as many
appropriate colleagues, graduate students, graduate department
secretaries, career service departments, and listservers as possible,
and post the flyer anywhere you think a potential applicant might see
it.
The YSSP program is unlike any other in offering graduate students in
a broad range of natural and social science, mathematical, and
engineering fields an opportunity to work in an international setting
on projects that allow them to explore the policy implications of
their work. IIASA's projects all look at one or another aspect of
global change. However, they range from very technical systems
modeling work in the Dynamic Systems program and mathematical ecology
in Evolution and Ecology, to integration of policy, economics, and
demography in the Population Program and the Risk and Vulnerability
Program -- in addition to natural science-based projects like Forestry
and Land Use. Moreover, there are energy and technology modeling
programs, and the Atmospheric Pollution Program, whose models have
been used in air pollution treaty negotiations in Europe and Asia. So
-- interested students might come from earth and atmospheric sciences,
policy and technology programs, economics and management programs,
political science, biology, geography, physics, civil engineering,
applied math, demography, fisheries, international relations, energy
and environmental studies, and probably others that I'm not thinking
of.
The attached brochure (in Word) is suitable for posting; the text of
the Word file is appended below the signature, so you can just cut and
paste it into email messages. In addition, I'm attaching a page from
the January 2004 Nature Magazine "Naturejobs" section that features a
short article on a 2004 YSSP participant. And an October 13, 2006
Science profile of IIASA researcher Brian O'Neill can be accessed from
the NMO website,
http://www7.nationalacademies.org/usnc-iiasa/index.html.
We would very much appreciate anything you can do to help get the
word out. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

Hello!
The Prairie Universities Biological Symposium (PUBS) is an annual conference held by university students at a designated prairie university. This long-standing tradition started at the University of Manitoba 40 years ago and has continued to provide an excellent forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their research to their peers. PUBS 2007 – the 41st annual conference – will be held February 22-24, 2007 at the University of Regina. Conference subject areas include molecular biology, microbiology, physiology, botany, zoology, ecology, paleobiology, conservation biology, environmental biology, and many more. Students conducting research in related disciplines such as health sciences, biochemistry, chemistry, engineering, geography, geology, and kinesiology are also welcome.
This conference is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate, honours, and graduate students to network with other researchers, labs, and universities. It is a chance to meet other students studying in their field and present their research in a relaxed setting. Students receive recognition for their work, expand their knowledge, and enhance their communication & interpersonal skills. PUBS is also a fun social event and a chance to meet new people. Please encourage your undergraduate, honours, and graduate students to attend.
We hope to see many University of Manitoba students at the conference! More information is available at our website http://uregina.ca/PUBS/.
Please direct inquiries regarding this email to PUBS2007(a)hotmail.com
Thank your for your time,
Salina Stilborn and Tianna Gross , PUBS 2007 Communications Directors

Hi Councillors,
The provincial office of the Canadian Federation of Students is coordinating a
gathering of international students this Sunday, November 12. The gathering
will begin at 9am at the University of Manitoba.
The morning will have a session on issues facing international students in
Manitoba, and a focused session on myths and facts on international students'
fees. Lunch will be provided (and I'm told there will be a soccr match over
the lunch break!), and the afternoon will see an overview on students' rights
in Canada and time to develop a campaign plan for working to end differential
fees in Manitoba and to achieve equality for international students.
We have registation forms in the GSA office, if you or anyone you know is
interested in attending please either email me (pres(a)umgsa.ca) or drop by the
office. The deadline for registration is Wednesday, Novemeber 8.
Please circulate this to anyone who may be interested!
Thanks,
Meghan
