The Netherlands needs a specialised institute for Egyptology, Assyriology and other studies of the Ancient Near East. Please don't cancel the independence of NINO!

I too have made use of NINO's unique collection (unique in the Netherlands). It is worth keeping it up-to-date and accessible. Its independency is a necessary condition for reaching that goal.

I benefitted directly from working with NINO over 50 years ago, and have valued its independent contributions to Near Eastern Studies ever since. Long may it continue its independent tradition!

Please, save NINO as it is! It is among the best research libraries/institutes for ANE scholars worldwide. Losing NINO would be a significant blow.

Where would we be without the NINO? Plans like this are always driven by the desire to cut costs, even if the managers deny it, and will undermine the independence of the institute and eventually lead to its disappearance. After the closing down of Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Egyptology at all other Dutch Universities, Leiden was supposed to be the national centre for these studies, but even there they are obviously no longer in safe hands.

What a waste of cultural and scientific knowledge it would be to dismantle this fine institute and disperse its assets.

The NINO is one of the best facilities in the world for scholars of the ANE. Its dismantlement would be a disaster.

It is essential fo our discipline at the international level to preserve this exemplary research institute, which has given and is still giving so much to the Egyptological community.

I cannot believe that such an excellent institution, one of the world-wide basis of the Egyptology is in a danger. Any transformation of the NINO would be a barbarian proceeding, a real blow against the science. I hope this creasy idea shall be changed.

NINO moet blijven. Goede herinneringen aan mijn tijd aldaar tijdens studie Semitische Talen eind jaren ’80.

Keep NINO open and independent. One cannot continue to get rid of one's own heritage and still claim a position as guardian of the past.
