> Introducing the Institute of Network Cultures
> Based within the Hogeschool of Amsterdam (HvA)
>
> Director and founder: Geert Lovink
> Assistent producer: Sabine Niederer
>
> The Institute of Network Cultures (INC), which was set up in June 2004,
> caters to research, meetings and (online) initiatives in the area of  
> new
> media and society with a particular focus on the internet.
>
> If you are interested in internships, linked events, providing
> screenings, lectures and workshops in Amsterdam, fellowships and
> international collaborative research, please contact us.
>
> The INC originates from the ‘lectorate’ of the department of  
> Interactive
> Media at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. The media theorist Geert Lovink
> was appointed ‘lector’ of this department in January 2004. The purpose
> of ‘lectorates’ as these, in principle, four year term positions are
> called in Dutch, is to introduce research into the Dutch system of
> higher vocational education, and to enable the development of so-called
> ‘centres of excellence’. Within the department of interactive media at
> HvA (http://www.interactievemedia.hva.nl/), the responsibilities of the
> lectorate include the provision of traineeships, lectures and the  
> theory
> programme. The INC is also involved in the Media Lab (initiated by the
> Hogeschool and the University of Amsterdam) which started with a BA
> pilot for 18 students in October 2004.
>
> The INC is also closely affiliated to the University of Amsterdam,  
> where
> Geert Lovink is working as an associated professor at the department of
> Media & Culture. The University of Amsterdam and the Hogeschool, which
> have merged at a managerial level, are cooperating in many areas.
