The Netherlands Flemish Institute in Cairo (NVIC) is an academic centre, which provides services for scholars and students from the supporting universities. The staff members of the Institute, as well as its temporary research fellows, undertake research on behalf of the supporting universities. The NVIC occasionally organizes colloquia on topics related to its expertise. The NVIC also offers academic courses in the archaeology of Egypt and in Arabic studies within the framework of study programs at the Dutch and Flemish universities. These courses focus on practical knowledge and academic experience in Egypt and they thus add a significant aspect to either field of study at the universities involved. The Institute may assist in the supervision of theses, papers and other individual study programs undertaken in Egypt. In addition, the NVIC organizes special courses in the field of the language and culture of Egypt and the Middle East on demand for non-academic target groups, such as governmental institutions and private companies. Finally, the Institute helps to disseminate Dutch and Flemish culture and promotes Dutch- and Flemish-Egyptian cultural co-operation, working closely together with the competent institutions in the Netherlands and Flanders and their respective embassies, for instance by offering Dutch language courses.
