Deadline: 1 November 2016
EP-Nuffic is calling applications for its Netherlands Fellowship Program – Tailor Made Training Programme (NFP-TMT), which is meant to improve the overall functioning of an organisation by training a selected group of staff. An organisation facing constraints in achieving its goals can (partly) eliminate these constraints with a tailor-made training course.
A tailor-made training course has to be carried out by a Dutch training provider.
The programme is open to a broad range of organisations in NFP countries, from education institutions, research institutes and ministries to NGOs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The total duration of TMT training usually is two to three weeks, depending on the budget needed for the training itself and other activities. The training and activities related to the training (compilation and preparation of the training) have to be realised within a period of one year.
Funding Information
- The maximum NFP subsidy is €75,000.
- Co-funding of at least 20% is required.
- Preference is given to proposals with at least 3% co-funding coming from the requesting organisation or from a third party.
