NL Knowledge Community
As we transitioned from a Neso office to a regional hub, our focus expanded to include not only Southeast Asian students, but also alumni and diaspora communities across the region. We now manage a regional alumni platform for individuals from Southeast Asia who have studied, conducted research, or participated in any form of education in the Netherlands.
