Coordination and funding

The NPCS will switch coordinating organisations at least once every five years. The coordinating organisation will be chosen by the Daily Board on the basis of nominations. The current coordinating organisation of the NPCS is the University of Utrecht.

For the period of 2016-2017 the NPCS received a starting grant from NWO-EW, TNO and the University of Utrecht. The University of Utrecht, as the first coordinating organisation of the NPCS, guarantees funding until 2020.
