Vinca Institute

VINCA Institute of Nuclear Sciences was founded in 1948 as a research centre for the realisation of the National Nuclear Programme of that time (Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, later on Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). Since 1968 it has continued research with a mixed scientific concept (not only nuclear). Today VINCA is a multidisciplinary scientific institute which covers a wide range of scientific and engineering fields.

The current number of employees is 800, out of which 400 is research staff. The institute is organised in work and research units, internally traditionally called laboratories (actually departments), which are to a large extent independent in business. There are 16 research departments, 3 centres, Import-Export Department, and a Joint Services Unit.
