NALACS, the Netherlands Association for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, is a membership organization founded in 1996 to serve academics and professionals working in the Netherlands on Latin America and the Caribbean.
It’s our mission to contribute to knowledge, understanding and debates about Latin America and the Caribbean through activities and events, and to stimulate contacts between individuals, universities and organizations with an interest in the region.
Our members include researchers, PhD candidates and students as well as journalists and NGO staff. NALACS has a network function, connecting Latin Americanists and Caribbeanists in the Netherlands to each other and to colleagues in surrounding countries.
