International Community
It goes without saying that a city and region with multinationals like Philips, DAF and ASML, with a High Tech Campus and a University of Technology, have numerous international contacts. There are also all kinds of networks for partners or carers. Just take a look.
Cultural and linguistic organizations
Eindhoven has numerous cultural and linguistic organizations. What about the Academisch Genootschap (http://www.academischgenootschap.nl/ (in Dutch)), whose motto is ‘for intellectual development'. Or go to http://www.alliance-francaise.nl/eindhoven (in Dutch) to join the Alliance Française. Take a look at http://www.nederlandengeland.nl/ to find out what the Genootschap Nederland-Engeland is all about. For a full list, go to www.ifalk.nl/eindhoven19gy169d/index.do?banner=true, click on ‘Cultuur & recreatie' and then on ‘culturele en linguïstische organisaties'.
