WIN is a worldwide association of women working professionally in the fields of nuclear energy and applications of radiation. It is governed by a President and a Board of Directors. The goal of WIN is to contribute to objectively informing the public on nuclear and radiation.

WIN's principal objective is to emphasise and support the role that women can and do have in addressing the general public's concerns about nuclear energy and the application of radiation and nuclear technology. WIN is doing this through educational programmes, information exchange and arranging study visits.

While many of the members of WIN are employed in the nuclear energy sector, a large number are working in other areas where nuclear technologies are utilized. The membership includes, for example, women working in medicine and health care, in regulatory authorities, in industry and as independent researchers at universities.

Members of WIN all have one thing in common: they want the general public to have a better understanding of nuclear and radiation matters. WIN is open to men, supporting the goals of WIN.

Among the WIN members are many who are willing to make presentations, discuss and give information material on subjects such as:

• radiation, radioactivity and health effects
• medical applications
• nuclear energy
• nuclear power plants and their safety
• radioactive waste
• nuclear and environment
• uranium mining
• radiation protection
• energy and sustainable development
