The NGNS promotes academic research and teaching of Modern Greek language, literature, history and culture in the Netherlands.

The NGNS was established in March 1996 by the Byzantijns-Nieuwgrieks Seminarium (currently the Department of Modern Greek Language and Culture) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the Instituut voor Nieuwgrieks en Byzantinologie of the University of Groningen. The policy of the NGNS entails the following:
1) Co-operating closely with a number of organizations and institutions, such as the Department of Modern Greek Language and Culture of the UvA, the European Society of Modern Greek Studies (EENS), the Embassy of Greece and the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in the Netherlands and the Foundation Adamantios Korais.
2) Co-organizing cultural events with institutions or individuals who support the aims of the
NGNS. Discounts to the members will be offered for these activities.
3) Expanding the membership of the NGNS among Greek and Dutch speakers in the Netherlands who support the aims of the NGNS. Dutch: http://www.nieuwgrieks.nl/
