Netherlands - Breukelen Local Name: Nyenrode Business Universiteit

Nyenrode Business Universiteit, founded in 1946 as a private university, builds on the motto `for and by business´. It survived and thrived thanks to the early initiatives of the Dutch multinationals in 1946 - and has done so ever since.

Today, the Nyenrode Business Universiteit offers courses for students and executives in which the transfer of knowledge, education, development of one's own initiative and imagination are carefully combined and balanced. Nyenrode aims for creating an inspiring internationally orientated environment for life-long learning. Nyenrode-researchers and trainers are known for their scientific but practical business orientation and make acquired knowledge accessible for organizations and society as a whole. Nowadays Nyenrode has become a place where students, executives, researchers and the 13,000 alumni from around the globe can get to know each other under the motto Spirit of Enterprise.
