HumasUPNVJ - Education is one of the important things which is the basis for improving a country's human resources. Indonesia is a large country with a very large population and provides scholarships to study abroad for its citizens. One of the favorite destinations for Indonesian citizens to continue their studies is the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is a country located in Western Europe which has the best quality education in the world. Reported on the " Study in Netherland " page, there are several reasons to study in the Netherlands, such as the many study programs offered with English instruction, a safe and comfortable country, a diverse society, and excellent and highly competitive quality graduates. There are some of the best universities in the world located in the Netherlands, such as the University of Amsterdam, Delft University of Technology, Utrecht University, Wageningen University and Research, Groningen University, Leiden University, and others.

Anter Venus, Chancellor of UPNVJ explained regarding the development of education in the Netherlands, "Based on the 2016 global enabling trade report data, the Netherlands ranks second as the country with the best economy. The Netherlands also received the Swiss international institute for management development award in 2017 as the fifth ranked country in the world with the most competitive economy. In addition, the Netherlands is ranked as the second most innovative country in the world according to the global innovation index in 2018. In addition, the quality of higher education in the Netherlands is one of the best in Europe and the world. Therefore, the Netherlands is one of the favorite destination countries for foreign diaspora, including Indonesia, to continue their studies and work," he explained

"With the presence of many educational opportunities such as Erasmus+ scholarships and other scholarships, the introduction of good cooperation and learning ethic will hopefully generate a good learning culture and also gain new insights that can provide various benefits and broaden the insights of UPNVJ students and academics. Hopefully this webinar can increase the interest of UPNVJ students and academics to continue their studies in the Netherlands and open opportunities for UPNVJ to collaborate with various partners in the Netherlands, "concluded the Chancellor

Drs. Mayerfas, MA. (Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Indonesian Embassy-The Hague) hopes that UPNVJ will soon be able to establish good cooperation with the Netherlands in the field of Education, "We want to strengthen cooperation in the field of Education in Indonesia with the Netherlands . We have invited universities in the Netherlands to cooperate with universities in Indonesia. In our opinion, there are still very few PTNs that cooperate with the Netherlands, therefore we want to pave the way for other universities to establish good cooperation as well, one of which is UPNVJ. So we hope that this activity can increase the knowledge of the UPNVJ academic community to choose the Netherlands as a destination for further study, scholarships, and work," he said

This activity was attended by approximately 108 participants including lecturers, staff and UPNVJ students through a zoom meeting. (9/5)
