NOVI University Of Applied Sciences

NOVI University Of Applied Sciences, Dutch: NOVI (Nederlands Opleidingsinstituut Voor Informatica), is a private Dutch HBO (vocational higher education) university of applied science (Hogeschool) located in Utrecht with a branch in Maastricht. NOVI is the oldest Dutch educational institution for research in Information technology. Its roots go back to 1958 when the nonprofit foundation (stichting) Studiecentrum Administratieve Automatisering (SSAA) was established by several Dutch academics affiliated with the faculty of economics of the University of Amsterdam. The goal was to facilitate the automation of industry in the Netherlands. The SSAA created the first Dutch examination program in the field of administrative information management, the AMBI, in 1964.
