When do you qualify?

• you have a company based or registered in the Netherlands that is active in the field of renewable energy; not-for-profits and knowledge institutions also qualify
• your company is active in one of the foreign target countries
• your company runs a project around one of the 3 sub-themes

You must also:

• be able to supervise the young professional

You can also take a quick test to find out if you are eligible for the subsidy.
