NRP Master Award

Do you have the prize-winning idea for the transformations and renovations of the future? The NRP Master Prize gives upcoming talent the chance to bring their new ideas in the field of transformation and renovation straight to the market.

NRP MASTER PRIZE: NEW IDEAS FOR TRANSFORMATION AND RENOVATION

One of the cornerstones of NRP is knowledge sharing and development. Our news platform NRP.nl and the accompanying NRP News Overviews, the debates, meetings, sessions and the NRP Academy form a good foundation for this. These activities take place largely within ‘the status quo’. In order to also create more interest for transformation and renovation outside this order, NRP is emphatically looking for connections with the next generation: the students.

SPECIALISTS OF THE FUTURE

NRP would like to know all about the original and innovative ideas of the Master’s students of today. The NRP Master Prize is an interesting incentive for students to engage with transformation and renovation. At the same time, their graduation theses and designs will contribute to the further professionalization of this field.

VISIBILITY

Would you like to surprise us with your innovative ideas for the transformation and renovation of the existing urban environment?

We offer you the opportunity of introducing your ideas to the many companies affiliated with NRP. Who knows, maybe they will be interested in your thesis or design or perhaps they even have a place for you within their company! Close collaboration with our media partners will ensure that your ideas are given plenty of publicity in the media. And last but not least, your ideas could also end up in the study program for transformation and renovation professionals: the NRP Academy.
