NAHSS 2023: An academic and cultural expedition
By Moos Barnhoorn | Delegate NAHSS 2023
In March, I started with NAHSS 2023, a academic and cultural expedition centered around Dutch-Asian relations. The highlight of this journey was ofcourse the three-week stay in Singapore and Malaysia, affording me the remarkable opportunity to engage with industry leaders such as Microsoft and Huawei, exploring the Dutch embassies in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and participating in lectures at universities with a distinct focus on Asian topics, provided a unique perspective not commonly found in most Dutch university curricula.

During the NAHSS project, you work on a project for a partner company. My team and I worked on a project for ABN AMRO Clearing bank, concentrating on investor behavior. Following NAHSS 2023, I started a semester abroad in Tokyo. Thanks to the Nahss/AACB project, I had the connections to connect with the management of ABN's Tokyo office, eventually securing a position as an analyst during my stay in Tokyo. The NAHSS experience not only unfolds as an amazing journey to Asia, but also represents an opportunity for significant career and network expansion.
