Mission

Wageningen in’to Languages opens up new worlds to ambitious professionals, researchers and organisations. We help them achieve their goals by enabling them to excel in languages and communication.

Vision

Globalisation is rapidly changing the world around us. Organisations, professionals and academics increasingly operate on a global scale. However, language proficiency, communication skills and intercultural awareness are equally important on a national scale. The area in which these success factors overlap is precisely where Wageningen in’to Languages expertise is found and where we want to reinforce our leading position in the years to come.

Partners
