| Profile: |
Based
in The Hague, FION represents 14 institutes of higher education,
which focus on development orientated courses in the English
language. These institutes also support organisations abroad
to develop their own capacity and institution in carrying out
training and educational programmes. FION aims at playing a
stimulating and co-ordinating role in the Dutch international
education system. The main objective is the development of
human capacity by providing education and training in the Netherlands
in order to meet quantitative and qualitative lack of educated
professionals in developing countries. A related objective
is to contribute to the capacity building and strengthening
of institutions in developing countries. |
| Approach: |
The target
group of the institutes are mid-career professionals from developing
and transitional companies. The major tasks of FION are to represent
the affiliated institutes in their joint activities in the Netherlands
and abroad, and to stimulate Cupertino between institutes of
International Education. It also provides information on scholarship
programmes in the Netherlands and abroad. It has established
an extensive network over the past 50 years. |
