A word from our rector

'Dear ISS friends, I have already met quite a few ISS alumni during my trips abroad and at ISS in The Hague. 

'I am very impressed by the strong bond there is between ISS and the incredible group of former students. All alumni with their own story, their own way to make impact! We are so proud of you. Please keep connecting with each other and with us. 

'Let’s keep the community alive!'
