The Nederlandse Natuurkundige Vereniging (NNV) (English: Netherlands Physical Society) is the national physical society of the Netherlands and a member of the European Physical Society.[2][3] Established in 1921,[1] the goals of the society are to promote physics and to serve the interests of physicists in the Netherlands. Its main activities are publishing the Dutch physics journal Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Natuurkunde (NTvN) and the organisation of an annual physics conference.[4]

  • Atomic, Molecular and Optical physics
  • Energy and Climate
  • History and Foundations of Physics
  • Education and Communication
  • Physics of Plasmas and Gas discharges
  • Subatomic Physics
