OVERSEAS CHINESE CONTACT IN THE NETHERLANDS (OCCN) In September 1993 the association Overzeese Chinezen Contact Nederland (OCCN, Overseas Chinese Contact in the Netherlands) was established with the aim of stimulating and co-ordinating Dutch scholarly interest in the ethnic Chinese who are living outside China, and their relationships with China. So far, some sixty members have been registered from a wide variety of universities and other institutes for academic research, with research projects on very diverse aspects of the ethnic Chinese communities overseas.
