On December 16th, KVCV will visit the Science Park of the University of Antwerp and ViTalent in Niel. There will be three keynote lectures in the field of "The Chemistry in Health Innovation." In addition, we will honor the laureates of the Chemistry Europe Fellows Award and the KVCV-SRC Incentive Awards, and some KVCV members will be honored as honorary members. There will also be guided tours through ViTalent.

 

ViTalent is the first training center in Flanders offering practical, hands-on training for current and future employees in the life sciences sector, which includes pharma and biotech.

ViTalent is located in the Science Park of the University of Antwerp in Niel. Spanning an area of 1,500m², it features classrooms, laboratories, practical spaces with a cleanroom—everything needed to realistically simulate working conditions in pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
