Dutch Training and Exposure Programme (DUTEP)
The Dutch Training and Exposure Program (DUTEP), which focuses on integrated urban water management, is a programme which allows different funding streams to be combined. DUTEP provides opportunities for selected staff of the Jakarta Capital City Government (DKI) to spend a period in Rotterdam to learn from best practices and develop ideas for solutions of Jakarta’s water management problems.
Living Labs
Living Labs are student-centric research projects based on real-life business issues. A consortium of Dutch and Indonesian universities was set up and in cooperation with corporate and government partners used student project results as starting point for further research and development of tools and practices for both industry and government.

We started with the Living Lab Logistics Indonesia (LLLI) targeting impact in practical ways to support the national agendas on logistics both in the Netherlands (Top sector Logistics) and Indonesia (SisLogNas).
Neso Indonesia continued supporting the Living Lab Water Indonesia.

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)
Since 2016 Indonesia and the Netherlands have been working together to improve vocational education in Indonesia, in particular in agriculture.
We believe that improving vocational education will have a direct impact on the quality of human resources and the welfare of the population in both countries.
In the Netherlands, agricultural schools from vocational to higher education are working closely together with the agricultural industry to benefit as much as possible from each other’s knowledge and experience.
To bring vocational education in Indonesia to a next level we are working together with the Indonesian Government and selected schools and in partnerships with the industry.
There is a close collaboration between universities from the two countries, IPB Bogor and the University of Wageningen. Dutch green education organisations, Aeres University of Applied Sciences, HAS University of Applied Sciences, and Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences joined forces to optimise the Dutch contribution and to benefit all parties involved.
Capacity building
Nuffic Neso Indonesia participates with 3 projects under the 'Innovation In Capacity building' (Innocap) umbrella and with its contributions under the Orange Knowledge Programme (OKP).
Incoming mobility in the Netherlands - Study in Holland
We work closely with Dutch higher education institutions to increase the quality and diversity of Indonesian students coming to the Netherlands. We organise a variety of events, such as Holland Scholarship Day, Dutch Placement Day, Study in Holland Online Series, Students Meet-ups, Parents and Teachers Gatherings, and Pre-Departure Briefings to prepare Indonesian students to study and live in the Netherlands.
We promote research opportunities together with the Dutch Research Council (NWO), the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), Academic Transfer and Euraxess.

SHARE
Since 2015, European Union Support to Higher Education in the ASEAN Region (EU SHARE) has been implemented by a consortium of European International Education Agencies (British Council, DAAD, Nuffic, ENQA). We act as the project office for Nuffic and are responsible for student mobility with credit transfer by managing SHARE scholarship and credit transfer system (CTS) as one of our activities.
We implement the scholarship programme through short-term (1 semester) exchange of undergraduate students from selected universities across the ASEAN region, whereas more than 500 scholarships have been awarded for both intra-ASEAN mobility and ASEAN-EU mobility.
Apart from that, we also facilitate capacity-building workshops for universities that are willing to enhance their internationalisation process, student mobility and the use of CTS. Additionally, we have also organised workshops for SHARE students and alumni in networking relations and building effective connections with ASEAN economic opportunities and the labour market.

Outgoing mobility in Indonesia - Study in Indonesia
To stimulate outbound student mobility from the Netherlands, we encourage Dutch students to gain more international experience in Indonesia. We enthusiastically support Indonesian higher education institutions in promoting their international degree programmes, short courses, exchange programmes and internships by organising webinars for Dutch students.
In 2019 we invited Indonesian higher education institutions to participate at the education fair 'Buitenlandbeurs' in Utrecht. According to data from the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture, between 2016-2019 the total number of Dutch students in Indonesia was in the top 8 of incoming mobility.

NL alumni network
The NL alumni network was a platform for international alumni, students, and interns, as well as Dutch education institutions, embassies and organisations. Through the network they can exchange knowledge, information, and contacts. The NL alumni network ended in 2022. However, Neso Indonesia remains committed to supporting good relations with international NL alumni and will continue to work for alumni.
