What I like about IRSP is working as a team! Being able to share your struggles you encounter, receiving feedback to improve your work and of course the social aspect of it.

I like the fact that IRSP provides an opportunity to work with real NGO's cases. It propriates the chance of getting field experience being in the university environment.

Eva Terpstra

Bachelor Student

is: kind of cool

is passionate about: doing basically any kind of sports, currently crossfit, football and running are favorite. When i am not moving, you can find me bullet journaling, reading or playing guitar and singing. Finally, as any student does, I like going out for a beer with my friends.

Participating in the IRSP program has been a very valuable addition to my degree. It allowed me to apply my knowledge gained during the bachelor in practice for the first time. Moreover, it provided me with working experience with an NGO, a field I was previously unfamiliar with. Finally, the team really contributed to the experience. The atmosphere was awesome and everyone was determined to achieve a great result.

is passionate about: googling random facts.

IRSP is really valuable for your development as a student since it gives you an opportunity to go outside of the normal IR courses and gain some experience in the practical field. I really enjoy the research we are conducting for MaxFoundation since it gives an insight into the world of NGOs. I think doing research with IRSP is very interesting for students because you can take a peek into one of the fields IR could playe a role in. It has been very nice to participate and be able to work closely with other students.
