KVCV events**
Our colleagues from the Royal Flemish Chemical Society (KVCV) have an extensive calendar of events that run throughout the year. KVCV is the professional association of Flemish chemists, and aims to bridge the gap between education, industry and society.
SRC events**
Our colleagues from the Société Royale de Chimie (SRC) also have an extensive calendar of events that run throughout the year. The SRC is a non-profit association that mainly brings together chemists from the French Community in Belgium whose main activity is exercised in one of the many fields of chemistry.
