We encourage your professional and personal development!
From assistance in choosing a master's program and a leadership program for young chemists to a mentoring program and career coaches
We help students and young professionals with their careers by assisting them in choosing a master's program, developing their leadership skills, and familiarizing them with the Dutch chemical industry. Various travel grants make it easier to do internships abroad and attend conferences. In our mentoring program, we pair members with each other so they can get to know each other and learn from each other. Our career coaches are there for all members who are at a crossroads in their careers and would like independent and expert advice.
Enrich your experience
Expand your international reach
We offer our members a unique opportunity to gain international experience. An adventure abroad is hugely enriching, which is why we have a range of travel grants available. These enable young members in particular to apply for financial support to broaden their horizons.
Offering opportunities
You offer new generations the same opportunities to become skilled in the chemical field
We want to be there not only for the current generation of chemists, but also for future generations. Students should also have the opportunity to develop to their full potential within the chemical field. That is why we offer students the opportunity to get to know the KNCV free of charge and organize various activities especially for students and young professionals. In this way, we ensure that the chemists of the future can also play a crucial role in solving major societal challenges. Your paid membership makes this possible.
