Amongst other studies, the university always had a reputation for languages. Don't waste your own identity!

Because when a great Institution like NINO is moving to another place, always provoque troubles. Sostein the independence of NINO.

no comments needed really, any research institution with such excellent history and achievements, should never be threatened. In times like these, research is more important than ever!

It would be sad if rudimentary financial considerations would have exclusive preference over scientific reputation, tradition and prestige ...

An extremely useful and cherished scholarly institution which efficiently promotes worldwide research. No effort should be spare for its preservation.

As a Ph.D. in Egyptology, and a specialist in egyptian epigraphy and religious practice at Thebes in the New Kingdom, I am one of the many witnesses to the quality of the research led at Leiden by the Netherlands Institute for the Near East. I can only advocate for anything that would keep and support its actual standards in the near and far future. Research has a cost and constructive reform is always welcome. But it shouldn't be made at the expense of actual research, and mainly beacause of practical and basely economic reasons. Long Live Ledien NINO. May many future generation benefit from its facilities and production.

Nino is a valued institution. Don't undermine its contributions to scholarship this way.

Keep the library as it is , the decision taken by the Curatorium kills the possibility of a higl level production in Egyptology and Assyriology.

There is no need to destroy a brillantly working institution. The plans unfortunately follow a world-wide tendency of regarding humanities with disdain. The NINO is one of the world's premier Egyptological institutions. Loss of its Independence would damage not only Egyptological scholarship but also the standing of Dutch scholarship worldwide.

Without the research of the different aspects of your history and the institutions as places of this research we will have no future

In my view it is absolutely necessary to keep upright the NINO independent and unchanged in staff, library, budget and facilities!

My husband would be turning in his grave at this.
