Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience
The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) is the country’s leading fundamental neuroscience research institute, in the international and progressive city of Amsterdam. It provides a critical mass of scientists (spanning more than 27 nationalities) and neuroscience facilities, in a highly interactive, dynamic, multi-cultural environment, with English as the working language. We perform fundamental research into the functioning of the brain. In the longer term, this knowledge will lead to new treatments, although direct applications are also explored. As an institute for excellent fundamental research the NIN’s role is unique. The NIN supplies universities and university medical centers in the Netherlands with top researchers and with innovative and applicable knowledge that is the result of long-running research lines at the NIN. Apart from that, the Netherlands Brain Bank, the primate unit and the Netherlands Sleep Register are (inter)national facilities for researching human brain tissue, cognitive functions and sleep patterns.
