Delegation from EP-NUFFIC brings working visit to MSM

A high-level delegation from EP-Nuffic, consisting of its Director, Mr. Theo Hooghiemstra and Mr. Chris Bergholtz (Scholarships) recently visited MSM. The purpose was to meet with MSMs international body of students, many of whom benefit from EP-Nuffic scholarships, and to discuss further co-ordination and co-operation between the institutions in furthering the internationalization of Dutch education.

MSM came into being, more than sixty years ago, as a key International Education institution in the Netherlands. Its unique focus, on strengthening management education in emerging and developing countries and the business relations between Europe and emerging markets, have been recognized in recent times by among others being a finalist for the Nuffic Orange Carpet Award and the AMBA Innovation Award 2014. In this, EP-Nuffic is an important partner, in providing various forms of support, including scholarships for students from abroad to partake in MSM’s education programs.

EP-Nuffic is the main expertise and service centre for internationalization in Dutch education, from primary and secondary education to higher professional and academic higher education and research. It is the result of a merger between the European Platform and Nuffic, two organizations with a long-standing commitment to internationalization. Its headquarters is in The Hague and it has eleven offices worldwide.
