Our mission
Collaboration is the key to success
The Royal Netherlands Chemical Society (KNCV) is the leading network for chemists, life scientists, and process technologists in the Netherlands. We have been connecting chemists, life scientists, and process technologists in the Netherlands for over 100 years.
We believe that chemistry is the key to a sustainable, healthy, and innovative future. That is why we bring people and disciplines together, stimulate personal and professional growth, and ensure that ideas lead to impact more quickly.
