In July 2022 the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Research (OCW) organized a knowledge mission to Indonesia in which several knowledge institutions took part. During this mission, the NL Knowledge House concept was discussed and the first guiding principles and building blocks for the NL Knowledge House Indonesia were explored.

2023 marked the start of the first pilot of an NL Knowledge House in Indonesia. Its current members are decisive in the set-up of the initiative, which will be evaluated at the end of 2023. The Dutch Ministry of Education is closely aligned with the initiative of the NL Knowledge House.
