DeGromiest (De Groningen’s Indonesian Moslem Society) was established in 2000 by the initiative of Indonesian students living in Groningen. The idea was that Indonesians needed a community to support their culture, learning, gathering, worship, and other Islamic activities. Starting with only several students, DeGromiest has now become the most prominent Indonesian community in the northern Netherlands. More than 300 active members comprise students, diaspora, expatriates, and Indonesian descendants. Moreover, there has been a consistent annual increase in approximately 100 to 150 students choosing Groningen as their study destination, which continues to rise each year.
