The World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS) is an international non-governmental membership organisation located in Vienna, Austria. WINS focuses on the operational level of licensees, regulators and other similar stakeholders rather than on the State level (which is the remit of the International Atomic Energy Agency).

WINS provides a wide variety of services that focus on four major areas: 1) workshops and training, 2) the WINS Academy, 3) a Knowledge Centre and 4) Evaluation. In this capacity, WINS has published over 36 International Best Practice Guides and numerous special reports. It also conducts workshops, training courses and round-tables around the world and offers evaluation services that help licensees of nuclear and other radioactive material assess the maturity of their security programme and measure the results. The WINS Academy provides professional training and certification for people with nuclear security responsibilities.

WINS had more than 6,000 members ^[1] from fields such as the private industry, nonprofit organisations, academia, law enforcement, government agencies and national laboratories.
