About us
Ambassadors
The ambassadors of the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR) are young researchers who represent the KNIR in the Netherlands. All ambassadors have stayed at the KNIR either by participating in a course or by receiving a KNIR scholarship. Thus they are familiar with the ins and outs of the KNIR. They are responsible for the PR of the KNIR on the Dutch universities while try to catch the eye of a broader audience.
This is the overview of the ambassadors 2019-2020. For previous years please go to our Dutch page.
