NSvP Fellowship
The NSvP Fellowship offers scholars from Dutch universities and research institutes the opportunity to work on a topic related to labor markets in the future. The fellowship is a collaboration between NIAS and NSvP (Nederlandse Stichting voor Psychotechniek).
About the NSvP Fellowship
During the NSvP Fellowship, researchers can focus on their research and explore the future of labor markets and the concept of ‘valuable work’.
Aim of the fellowship is to produce innovative insights, increase the body of knowledge and to encourage the development of scientific solutions for practical issues. The Fellow can work towards the following goals:
- Link scientific research to the questions and needs of practitioners
- Contribute to debates in the field and the public agenda
- Write a paper describing new insights
- At the end of the research period, the fellow writes a white paper (in Dutch), which will be published and distributed by the NSvP. The publication may be presented during a symposium.
The inspiring international environment at NIAS offers researchers an opportunity to work within an interdisciplinary community of scholars.
