Have a talk with enthusiastic environmental professionals! About any questions you have about your study (path) and your future career. Come to the VVM mentor/mentee speed date evening on 7 March 2023! Free for student members and recently graduated members of VVM.
Tuesday 07/03/2023
19:30 - 21:00
Online via Zoom
Dutch, English, whatever you and your speeddate prefer :)
Of course, you can discuss these questions with friends and family or with lecturers and student advisers. But you can also benefit from talking to inspired environmental professionals. People who have extensive work experience (in your field of interest) and are happy to think along with you.
During the mentor-speeddating event we bring professionals in the environmental field together with students and young professionals. In short sessions of 20 minutes, you will meet multiple experienced professionals (and maybe even a potential employee!). Depending on what you want, you can leave it at a one-time conversation or you can decide on a long term mentor relationship.
You can let us know what environmental fields or professions you are interested in and we can find a mentor for you that fits your needs! So sign up by clicking the button below, fill in the form to let us know your preferences and we’ll see you on March 7th!
This online event is free for all students.
You could consider becoming a VVM member and thereby profiting from all the advantages the membership has to offer. For example: access to our electronic membership database so you can easily contact any of the about 1300 members ánd free admission to all VVM activities (about 40 a year).
A regular VVM student membership costs €40 a year. You can become a VVM member with a 50% discount for €20 if your study association cooperates with us (ask your student board about the promocode). VVM cooperates with 15 study associations. Interesting to know: VVM will donate your membership fee to your study association!

About VVM
VVM is the network of environmental professionals. Sustainable thinkers and doers meet in our association. Around 1300 members have very diverse backgrounds. From independent noise expert to researcher of sustainable mobility and from advisor on circularity at a commercial company to specialist in climate adaptation at the province; at the VVM you meet them all.
As a member, you can easily get in touch with other members. Through the online member database, an e-mail to the VVM Bureau or by attending a speed date event. This is handy if you want to find relevant interviewees for your thesis or are looking for an internship. But also if you want to discuss your career options. The VVM mentoring system is particularly suitable for this: dedicated VVM members who offer their time, skills and knowledge to help you with questions about your study and/or (future) career.
It is also possible to become active in one of the 20 secties, working groups around themes such as: climate & energy, biodiversity, soil & land use and water. Here, members discuss the latest developments in their field and organise events on the topic of their (professional) interest. For students and starters, there is sectie Jong.
You can find inspiration at more than 40 activities each year. These activities vary from a conference on the future of our environmental policy to a career event aimed at students and from an excursion to a windmill park to a networking drink for young professionals.
