Training agency - Negotiation Project
Empowering student boards with the art of negotiation
Negotiation Project Twente (NPT) is dedicated to helping student boards and associations at the University of Twente become more effective, confident, and strategic in negotiation and collaboration. We provide tailored training that equips boards with the tools they need to communicate clearly, manage conflicts, advocate for their ideas, and find common ground with stakeholders – from association members to external partners.
Founded and run by UT alumni, we understand student life, the dynamics within associations, and the unique challenges of a board year. Our sessions are hands-on, interactive, and filled with practical strategies that boards can immediately apply in their daily work.
Whether you're navigating a heated debate during a GMM, trying to secure better sponsorship deals, or aligning differing opinions within your board – our training helps you turn negotiation into one of your strongest assets.

WHY CHOOSE NPT?
We don't offer one-size-fits-all training. Every board is different, and so is every training we give. We start by chatting with you about your challenges, goals, and team dynamics. From there, we build a session (or series) tailored to what your board needs—nothing more, nothing less.
Our approach is personal, energetic, and always rooted in the student experience.
Make your board year smoother, sharper, and more impactful with us.
