Nuffic's offices in The Hague, Netherlands

Nuffic is the Netherlands Organisation for International Cooperation in Higher Education. It is a private, non-profit corporation and is based in The Hague, the Netherlands.

Overview

Founded on 11 January 1952 by a group of Dutch higher education institutions wanting to work together for the benefit of international academic cooperation, Nuffic now works on behalf of various Dutch government departments and other public and private-sector organisations to administrate academic cooperation programmes, to promote the international mobility of students and academic staff through scholarship and grant programmes, and to attract students from other countries who are looking to study abroad. It promotes and supports international institutional cooperation between institutes of higher education in different countries. In its education promotion activities, Nuffic works with similar organisations in other countries, such as the British Council, the Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst of Germany or CampusFrance. Nuffic's motto is "Linking knowledge world wide".

Governance

Nuffic is managed by a Director General, who is supported by two directors. Supervision of Nuffic's management lies with a six-member Board of Trustees. The role of trustee is not a full-time position, and trustees generally occupy senior executive positions in other companies or organisations. In addition to its advisory role, the Board of Trustees also appoints a Remuneration Committee, which acts as the employer of the executive director. Since 2005 mr. Sander van den Eijnden is director general of Nuffic.
