Biography
Lid bestuursadvies commissie VNCI (Vereniging van Nederlands - VNCI Jan 2014 - Present Gevraagd en ongevraagd advies geven aan het bestuur van de VNCI over relevante punten voor de Nederlandse chemische industrie Secretaris Dutch Catalysis Society - Dutch Catalyis Society Jan 2010 - Present Organiseren van aktiviteiten voor leden van de katalyse gemeenschap. Lid NIOK bestuur - Nederlands Instituut voor Onderzoek in de Katalyse Jan 2014 - Present admin NIOK, which stands for ‘Nederlands Instituut voor Onderzoek in de Katalyse’ (Netherlands Institute for Catalysis Research), is a virtual institute consisting of Dutch University Groups active in all areas of catalysis. It is a nationwide graduate school (‘Onderzoekschool’) which fosters the advancement of both higher education and research and stimulates collaboration between scientists of different disciplines and Universities. NIOK acts as the platform and sparring partner for national and international contacts on catalysis with academia, industry and government. It was established in 1991 by the major catalysis groups of seven Dutch Universities. Member of chemistry evaluation board of the Lorentz center - Lorentz center Jan 2017 - Jan 2018 Review proposal for conferences to be held at the Lorentz center Executive board member Europacat 2019 - Europacat 2019 Jan 2016 - Dec 2019 Executive board member (with 6 others) responsible for the organization of the European Catalysis Conference (Europcat) in 2019
