The Nuffic Neso programme
Oct 28, 2010
In 2001, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science assigned Nuffic the task of establishing a network of Netherlands Education Support Offices (Nuffic Nesos) in designated countries with the aim to promote Dutch higher education on behalf of the entire sector.
In 2006 the Nuffic Neso office in Mexico was established as the fifth Netherlands Education Support Office worldwide, and the first one in Latin America.
Currently there are Nuffic Nesos or Study in Holland desks in China, Taipei, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico, Russia, Brazil, South Korea, Taiwan and India.
International academic liaison
The main task of a Nuffic Neso is to promote Dutch higher education and foster international institutional cooperation in order to increase student and staff mobility and related activities. The Nuffic Nesos promote Dutch higher education, positioning it in the international higher education marketplace in competition with other study destinations.
This means that a Nuffic Neso serves a wide range of target groups and partners: Dutch and international students, alumni, academics and other knowledge workers, Dutch and foreign higher education institutions, Dutch and international umbrella organizations, the Dutch government and other stakeholders.
