Human Capital Agenda of the joint topsectors
Sufficient people with the right knowledge and qualities, our human capital, is essential to answer the social challenges of the Netherlands. In order to achieve this, a strong connection between learning, working and innovating – and therefore close collaboration between business, research and education – is indispensable.

The chemical industry needs talent to realize the ambitions of the sector. Who wants to develop his or her talent in chemistry can participate in the ChemistryNL talent programmes. These are available for students in chemistry, chemistry, process technology and analytical chemistry, at university or HBO.

Learning communities
One of the key challenges in innovation is to disseminate knowledge faster and make learning as engaging as possible. That is why Learning Communities offer sustainable partnerships in which working, learning and innovating are closely organized. And more accessible for a large group of pupils, students and employees.
