NVvL

The nonprofit organization in the Netherlands which provides a common platform for all with a professional or a private interest in aerospace technology. The NVvL was founded on 26 April 1941 in Amsterdam, initially under the name 'Club for Scientific Aeronautical Engineering' and after which the name was changed to 'Group for Aeronautical Engineering'. At the time, this 'group' came under the 'Vakafdeeling Luchtvaarttechniek' of the Royal Dutch Aviation Association (KNVvL). In 1950 it was decided to change the name of the 'group' to the Netherlands Association of Aeronautical Engineers. Since 1952, the NVvL has been affiliated with the KNVvL through the Aviation Sciences Department. The NVvL offers a platform for all those who are interested in aviation technology because of their profession or interest. The association deals with all elements of research, science and technology and has among its members specialists from all sectors of aviation: government, industry and educational and research institutions. It acts as a link and communicator between the individual disciplines and promotes the exchange of knowledge between industry, knowledge institutes and educational institutions at both national and international level. In addition, the NVvL contributes to the formation of a network of people who are active in the field of aviation technology in the broadest sense of the word.
