Amsterdam Chemistry Innovation Day (ACID) 2019

Chemists of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area organize an annual update on science and innovation on the Amsterdam Chemistry Innovation Day on 1 November 2019. This interactive network and workshop event informs you about the latest chemical developments and innovations in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. Furthermore, you will meet chemists from companies (from startup and SME to multinational) and academia, students as well as representatives of the Topsector Chemistry and National funding agency NWO. A great opportunity to find potential partners, research funding and/or future employees to accelerate your business.
