TNC 2024 @ The University of Twente
The University of Twente is the proud host of The Negotiation Challenge 2024 for Students! At the University of Twente, we use the motto High Tech - Human Touch, meaning that we bring together different disciplines, skills and backgrounds to challenge our students with real-world problems. On the topic of negotation, we offer our students a dedicated programme within the Master Honours programme to become Great Negotiators and we have a community of negotiation-enthusiasts within our very own Negotiation Project Twente. Within The Netherlands, we are part of the student-led Dutch Negotiation Network.
Honours programme - GReat Negotiators
The Master Honours programme track “Great Negotiators” is a unique programme at the University of Twente for our top students that aims to develop students’ negotiation and communication skills by executing numerous simulations, exercises, and extensive study of the academic body of knowledge in negotiation and ethical conflict management.
In a cross-disciplinary environment, participants will establish the theoretical foundation of negotiation, reflect on the current state of research, acquire the interpersonal skills needed to negotiate and apply this knowledge in a global negotiation challenge. With this approach, a widely applicable and academically founded course can be offered that helps you develop negotiation skills and put your knowledge into practice.
Negotiation Project Twente
The Negotiation Project Twente is a foundation which uniquely educates higher-level students and industry professionals about the tenets of negotiation. Aided by the knowledge derived from industry leaders and researchers, we set out to enlighten others, giving them a toolkit which transcends the application of the negotiations table. Since our recent establishment, we have successfully competed in a number of worldwide competitions.
Negotiation Project Twente's mission is to "provide effective negotiation courses to industry organizations and educational institutes."
Negotiation Project Twente's vision is “to become the leading professional negotiation course provider in the Netherlands.”
The Dutch Negotiation Network
The Dutch Negotiation Network is on a mission to transform the Dutch negotiation landscape. As a student-led organisation, it works to empower students and professionals with expertise in negotiation, revolutionising the ecosystem. Their goal is to become the leading platform for teaching negotiation skills across Dutch universities while establishing valuable connections with industry professionals. The network will hold the first national negotiation competition (Dutch Negotiation Open) in the Netherlands in June 2024 for all students from Dutch universities.
