Organic Chemistry Section (SOC)
The Organic Chemistry Section (SOC) promotes organic chemistry and represents the interests of organic chemists in the Netherlands. With approximately 600 members, we are one of the largest sections of the KNCV. We organize two meetings each year (one at a university and one at a company). In even-numbered years, we hold the Organic Chemistry Symposium; in odd-numbered years, we collaborate with the Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology Section (MCCB) on a joint program.
SOC events
As a member of the SOC, you’ll receive a discount on our own events. If you’re also a member of the KNCV, you’ll receive a discount on all lectures, seminars, and meetings organized by the KNCV (and all its sections).
There are no meetings published at the moment. Please check back later!

Carolien Bastiaanssen wins the Vuurvliegen Leiden
Around 250 pupils from the Willem van Veenschool, Dalton de Leeuwerik, Hofdijckschool and Dukdalf primary schools in the Leiden region have declared researcher Carolien Bastiaanssen of the Netherlands Cancer Institute the winner of the ‘Vuurvliegen’ science battle in Leiden. After a thrilling contest against four other scientists, she managed to present her research to the children in the clearest and most convincing way. She compared genes in cells to a World Cup football team. A cell only works if every gene plays its own part.
