The Wuppertal Institute's staff numbers approximately 170. Most of them are research staff and come from a wide variety of scientific disciplines: natural and environmental sciences, geography, systems sciences, engineering, planning, law, economics, political and social science. The Institute employs roughly equal numbers of women and men.

All the Institute's research units are supported by its administration, the scientific services as well as research assistants.

The Wuppertal Institute cooperates with universities in guiding PhD, diploma and master's candidates in their work. Our research activities are supported by a global network of cooperation partners and individual scientists.

A works council represents the interests of the staff.
