The goal is to maintain and expand a special PhD alumni network in China; to improve the communication amongst the alumni themselves and with their host institutions; to serve as a platform to provide the means and opportunities for PhD alumni/candidates to develop their professional as well as academic interests, and thereby ultimately improve Sino-Dutch cooperation on scientific research and social development.
The Netherlands has the ambition of being a fully fledged knowledge economy by 2016. In recent years, China has developed into a top academic nation within the international arena, and this positive development is not just continuing, but is actually accelerating. The Netherlands welcomes talented researchers from China to the Netherlands. More and more Chinese PhD candidates have completed their PhD training in the Netherlands and returned to China to continued their career in the private sector or in Chinese academic institutes.
At the moment, Netherlands is ranked as the 5th recipient in Europe of CSC PhD scholarships.
Chinese alumni who hold a Dutch PhD degree are a special kind of Dutch ambassadors who often have high ranking positions and therefore different needs than other alumni. Since this special group has increased considerably in the last years, there is a strong need of setting up a PhD alumni chapter within the NANC operation in China to address the specific needs of (Chinese) individuals who have obtained a PhD degree from the Netherlands and who are residing in China.
