About the International Visitors Programme
Each year, dozens of international professionals working in the fields of architecture, design, fashion and digital culture come to the Netherlands at the Nieuwe Instituut’s invitation to get acquainted with the multidisciplinary way of working that characterises Dutch design. The International Visitors Programme fosters international dialogue, cultural exchange, market expansion, and broadening of the international professional network. The institute creates custom schedules that enable its guests to quickly get to know a large number of organisations and individuals working in the Dutch design field.
The International Visitors Programme is made possible by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
