The Austrian Academy of Sciences is the Austrian National Member Organization (NMO) of IIASA. It represents the interests of the Austrian scientific community in the IIASA Council and acts as a liaison between political decision-makers and the public. The organizational unit responsible for all matters concerning IIASA at the Austrian Academy of Sciences is the Austrian IIASA Committee.

It advises the Chair of the Committee, who represents the Austrian NMO at the IIASA Council, in all scientific and organizational matters concerning IIASA that are dealt with and resolved upon in the IIASA Council. These matters include, without being limited to, all issues related to the scientific work program of IIASA, basic IIASA institutional management matters and participation in IIASA research projects. It is also the task of the Austrian IIASA Committee to keep Austrian research institutions and researchers informed about the research activities at IIASA, to promote cooperation and to provide assistance with the use of IIASA infrastructure.

The Austrian IIASA Committee is incorporated into the overall Academy and consists of representatives of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, one representative each of the competent Federal Ministries, of the Austrian Universities relevant to IIASA research and of non-University research and research funding institutions.
