Challenge

Nuffic offers its staff a challenging place to work, with an emphasis on teamwork and individual responsibility. The atmosphere is informal, but our focus is firmly on organisational goals and personal development.

Our organisation

Nuffic is made up of four Directorates:  Programme Management, Information Services, UNESCO & Expertise, and Business Support. The Director-General and two other Directors together form the Board of Directors and are responsible for the running of the Directorates. Each Directorate is divided into departments, and most departments are again divided into teams.

In 2010, all Nuffic's work processes were certified in accordance with the standards set down in ISO 9001:2008, which means that Nuffic has established a structured quality assurance framework.

Remuneration is in accordance with the collective labour agreement of the Dutch universities. In addition, Nuffic offers opportunities for personal development through courses, training and coaching.
