Milestones of SSPF

During the duration of the first policy plan 2017-2019 SSPF focused on building up a well- functioning organisation, with the prospect of sufficient financial resources. Within the preconditions of the acquired budget, it has proved to be possible to select significant numbers of participants from both target groups, and (partially) financially support their participation in SSP or other short duration education programme. 
​
The following activities will be carried out each year:

Fundraising

• Securing and ensuring that the government (ministries involved through NSO) commits to 'matching' the sponsor contributions from the space companies
• ​Obtaining co-financing for the participation of employees of space companies
  

Recruitment and selection of the candidates

• ​Promoting the SSPF financing opportunities to both target groups, through mailings (e.g. through NSO), presentations, and various means of communication (website, social media)
  
• Encouraging SSP participation in subsequent years
• Evaluating applications for other eduaction programmes
  
• ​Management board acting as selection committee
  

Accountability

• Having an annual compilation statement carried out by an accounting firm​

Administration and accounting

• ​Maintenance of financial-administrative systems
  
• Carrying out the administration
