Funding space education
in the Netherlands and beyond
|
The SSPF provides financial support for advanced education in space-related subjects. Priority is given to its first target group – the Dutch space sector’s (young) professionals – although advanced (PhD, Master) students of space-related programs at Dutch education institutions are also eligible as a secondary target group.
In principle, all applicants wishing to obtain funding for their space-related advanced academic program course will be considered by the SSPF, as long as they meet the program course’s criteria. In exceptional cases, requests by bachelor students will be taken into consideration. An interview may form part of the selection process. OBJECTIVESManage all local finances of the International Space University’s (ISU) 2018 Space Studies Program (SSP), for which the Netherlands has been appointed host country, and provide (supplementary) funding towards the SSP participation fees for the SSPF’s two target groups.
From 2019 onwards, provide (supplementary) program fee funding for applicants from
both target groups to attend an SSP, or other space-related, educational program in or outside of the Netherlands. |
