Honorary members and members of merit

Honorary members and members of merit

As an association, we owe our existence to committed members who actively promote the quality, visibility, and development of the chemical field and the professionals working in it. For more than 120 years, people—members and non-members alike—have been committed to promoting and shaping the KNCV's mission.

As a token of our appreciation and recognition, we have appointed many of them as honorary members or members of merit. We are proud of this impressive list of names – and hope that it will continue to grow for many years to come.

In the coming decades, we want to continue to honor the valuable contributions of people in chemistry, life sciences, and process technology with one of our prestigious honorary titles.
