The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) in cooperation with the KNCV organizes the largest chemical conference in the Netherlands ever: CHAINS2011 (Chemistry As INovating Science).
1,500 scientists from all disciplines, universities and business come together to learn from each other, to share ideas and to network. The programme includes the full scope of present-day chemistry. At CHAINS2011 we show chemistry as provider of durable solutions to world problems, for instance on areas of energy, rare materials and health.
