About Us

WINS is a non-governmental membership organisation headquartered in Vienna, Austria.

We are a professional institute committed to building an international community of nuclear security professionals who are demonstrably competent and willing to work together to strengthen the security of nuclear and other radioactive materials.

We are convinced that no State, organisation, industry or NGO can address the complex threats facing nuclear and other radioactive materials alone. Doing so requires engagement, competence and leadership among a broad range of stakeholders. This is why we work closely with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on numerous security-related issues and why we embrace our growing role as a bridge among international governments, industry and civil society.

WINS’ Strategic Outlook Until 2026

In 2021, the WINS team envisioned one main overarching goal to be achieved by 2026, which is to “be of service to the entire world and to address all security issues related to nuclear and other radioactive facilities, activities and materials, whether under or outside of regulatory control.” We commit to working toward reaching three operational goals in achieving the overarching goal. The WINS team invites you to read about these goals in detail by scrolling through the following section and by downloading our strategy below.

Quality Management

We are committed to providing the highest quality services to our members and to careful stewardship of our funding. We also believe that excellence and quality should be determined by external measurements, not simply by self-assessment.

This is why we proactively seek audits from external organisations on the quality of our services and financial management. We have achieved ISO 9001 and ISO 29990 certification. We also highly value feedback from our members and other stakeholders.
