The Week of Indonesia – Netherlands Education and Research (WINNER) conference is back, and this year marks a significant milestone as it celebrates its fifth edition! Scheduled to take place from 24-26 September 2024, WINNER 2024 is set to continue its tradition of fostering collaboration in education and research between Indonesia and the Netherlands. This jubilee edition introduces an exciting hybrid format, with physical components hosted in the Netherlands for the first time, making it a landmark event in the history of WINNER.

WINNER was conceived as a platform to bridge the educational and research communities of Indonesia and the Netherlands, centering around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The conference has consistently brought together researchers, educators, policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society stakeholders to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and explore collaborative opportunities. Over the years, it has grown into a pivotal event that highlights the mutual interests and cooperative spirit between the two nations.

This year, under the theme ‘Nurturing Mutually Beneficial Cooperation in Higher Education and Research,’ WINNER aims to enhance participation and raise awareness among its target audiences in both Indonesia and the Netherlands. The three-day conference will feature a diverse array of activities, including an Opening Ceremony hosted by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science. On Day 2, attendees can participate in six thematic hybrid streams, each focusing on a specific topic and held at a different university in the Netherlands. The event will be concluded with various panel discussions and a Closing Ceremony hosted by the Indonesian Embassy in Amsterdam.

WINNER 2024 is tailored for a diverse audience, including academics, students, education enthusiasts, policymakers, businesses, NGOs, and societal stakeholders. It also targets staff of knowledge institutions, and anyone interested in the collaborative efforts between Indonesia and the Netherlands.
