Amsterdam

Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, is the country's largest city and its financial, cultural, and creative centre.

Amsterdam has been called the Venice of the North for its lovely canals that criss-cross the city, its impressive architecture and more than 1,500 bridges. What makes Amsterdam so attractive is the 17th century historical atmosphere combined with the mentality of a modern metropolis creating a friendly and relaxed environment.

The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences

The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences was founded in 1808 as an advisory body to the Dutch Government – a role that it continues to play today. As the forum, conscience, and voice of the arts and sciences in the Netherlands, the Academy promotes quality in science and scholarship and strives to ensure that Dutch scholars and scientists contribute to cultural, social and economic progress.

The Academy is housed in the Trippenhuis at Kloveniersburgwal 29 in Amsterdam.
