In the Institute of Radiation Protection (ISS) there are about 35 scientists and 15 technicians working in the fields of research, education and for services. About half of the staff members are being paid by third-party funds (EU, BMU, BMBF, BStMLU). The ISS collaborates closely with other scientific institutions both in Germany and other countries, to a high extent within several cooperative projects in the Radiation Protection Programme of the Commission of the European Communities, which include also colleagues from the US.
