The NIOK PhD platform (NPP)

What is the NPP?

Join our WhatsApp community

The NIOK PhD platform (NPP) has been founded in 2008 and there are several things we can (and will) do for you. We will voice your opinions directly to the NIOK board, so if you have any NIOK-related compliments, commentaries or criticisms, let us know. We also want to increase the integration between NIOK graduates, both on a social and professional level. Among the NIOK PhD’s there are experts on everything related to catalysis and we will help you know who that is. Lastly, we want to give you a glimpse of life after the PhD (yes, there actually is one). Our plans for doing all this will be announced through our NPP WhatsApp Community. In the meantime, if you would like to contact us about things you think we should do, you can do so at niokphdplatform@gmail.com or contact one of us individually.
