Netherlands Alumni Network in China (NANC) is a part of Neso China (Netherlands Education Support Office China), it is also a party of Nuffic Holland Alumni network.
NANC is a social network for all alumni of Chinese, Dutch or other nationalities who studied or were engaged in academic research in the Netherlands and now live in China (students and those who are currently studying in the Netherlands are also welcome to join this network as `pre-alumni`). NANC is funded by many Dutch universities, higher education institutions and Dutch/international companies in China.
The network aims to serve as a platform to provide the means and opportunities for its members and partners to improve their communication and empowerment and to promote their social and professional interests, and thereby ultimately improve Sino-Dutch relations.
Operating on a non-profit and partnership basis, NANC acts as a platform to improve the communication between alumni and their host institutions also serves as a matchmaker to facilitate the business communities for talent scouting and recruitment among the highly trained alumni. Since its establishment in February 2005, almost 4000 alumni have already registered as NANC members representing more than 50 higher institutions in the Netherlands.
With the continuous development and enhancement of NANC in past 5 years, it is increasingly recognized by universities, students, governments and other (educational) organizations that alumni are an important “image ambassador” and play a very positive role in the promotion of education institutions and higher education programs.
The establishment of this network increases the opportunities of alumni to contribute Sino-Dutch relations in general and to their educational or expertise-related areas in particular. This network also supports the development of strong sustainable individual Dutch university alumni chapters across China.
