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. OBJECTIVEFrom 2019 onwards, provide (supplementary) program fee funding for applicants from both target groups to attend a Space Studies Program (SSP) or the Southern Hemisphere Space Studies Program (SHSSP) by the International Space University (ISU), or other space-related, educational program in or outside of the Netherlands.

Benjamin Brenny (SSP18)
"SSP has given me a better understanding of the different parts of the Space industry, both in terms of technologies and players. I can now put into context the expertise and role that TNO has, with respect to our partners, and how we all fit into the big picture. My new knowledge of the organizational and technological aspects of an entire mission is very helpful, even when you are involved with a small specific part. The new network I have gained is also very valuable, to discuss ideas and new collaborations." |
