Jong KNCV regularly organizes visits to companies and institutes. By organizing such visits, we try to strengthen the bond between university and industry and we offer young chemists the possibility to broaden their horizon of (job) possibilities within industry. In previous years, we have visited Heineken, BASF, Labmakelaar and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
Lucky us, we also managed to arrange a company visit this year: on Thursday the 19th of May 2022, we visited Avery Dennison at Oegstgeest!
Avery Dennison is a materials science and manufacturing company specialized in the design and manufacture of a wide variety of labeling and functional materials.
