The first website in the Netherlands was launched in February 1992 by the National Institute for Subatomic Physics Nikhef. It was also the third website in the world, following the invention of the World Wide Web at CERN.

1975, working on my Ph.D. in Nijmegen. Not worrying about the joint institute that was being founded in far away Amsterdam to strengthen excellence in science and technology in high energy physics: Nikhef. Successful, dynamical and based on the vision of its founders! #nikhef50.
