Activities

For students, PhD candidates, and young professionals in chemistry

Activities

As Jong KNCV, we organize activities specifically for chemists, life scientists, and process technologists up to the age of 35. As a member of Jong KNCV, you are also a member of the KNCV, which means you can attend all activities organized by the KNCV and its sections, regional branches, and working groups, often at a discount!

TIP! If you are logged in, you don't have to enter your details every time you want to sign up for an event.

For the chemists of tomorrow

The NextGen program

The world is changing rapidly. Chemistry plays a key role in this – from climate and energy to health and sustainability. To tackle all these challenges, we need chemists who look beyond their own field of expertise – who are not only experts, but who can also inspire, connect and innovate. We have developed the NextGen programme for these ‘chemists of tomorrow’.
