Aim of the NFP
The NFP aims to help increase both the number and the competencies of skilled staff at a wide range of government and non-government organisations.
Fellowship holders will improve their knowledge and skills, learn about relevant global developments in their field and build an international network. This way the employing organisation directly invests in staff development and the fellowship holders invest in their further career.
For the Netherlands it also serves to strengthen ties with the fellowship holder’s country.
After completing the training fellowship holders return to their original workplace. This ensures the training is embedded within the organisation.
Types of funding
The NFP offers fellowships for:
- short courses
- master’s degree programmes
- PhD studies
It also has funding for Tailor-made training courses and alumni activities
