Business Support & Services is a very diverse department. However, all your colleagues have one thing in common and that is an attitude of service to support the other ‘core’ departments.

You work at the department with experienced experts as well as with junior colleagues. We think it is very important to give young talents good opportunities and to help them in their first steps in the field.

The combination of fresh new insights and work experience make the department flexible. Business Support & Services is moving and in this way supports the other core departments optimal. Together, we ensure that we can carry out the mission of ASTRON.
