About Dutch Scientific Institutes Abroad NWIB

The NWIB, or Dutch Scientific Institutes Abroad in English, are scientific posts of Dutch universities particularly situated around the Mediterranean. There are five Dutch institutes abroad: St. Petersburg, Athens, Cairo, Florence, Rome. Together, they play a great part in promoting and representing the Dutch universities abroad. The institutes form a network of scientific centres with regards to education and research. Students and co-workers gather in a variety of different ways international experience; for example: by taking part in lectures and conducting research ‘in the field’. The presence of these institutes can also be a stimulant for students or researchers from the country, in which the institute is located, to go to The Netherlands as a student or scientific worker.

The institutes are co-managed by the University of Amsterdam, Utrecht University, Leiden University, University of Groningen, Free University Amsterdam and Radboud University.

The abbreviation NWIB stands for De Nederlandse Wetenschappelijke Instituten in het Buitenland.
