  How are you managing remote employees? Is their well-being suffering from prolonged isolation? How will you evaluate performance and appraise competencies? What is your crisis team doing and how can you support them?
  

  During the first wave of lock-down, it was a bit like being on holiday - something novel and different that wasn't going to last too long. But the ongoing restrictions have proved difficult for companies, managers, employees and their families alike. After a full year of working partially or fully from home, some people are tired and losing motivation whilst some are thriving.

  In this 2-part series, find out what others have done, how they've coped and what they have learned.

• De Impact van de ICC Incoterms® 2020 regels

  • When
    10 Mar 2021
  •  
    13:30 - 17:00 (UTC+01:00)
  • Location

  De ICC Incoterms^® 2020 regels zijn een jaar van kracht. De regels geven duidelijkheid en zekerheid bij internationale handelsactiviteiten. In de praktijk blijken er vaak vragen te zijn over de wijze waarop de Incoterms^® regels samenhangen met het transport, douane, verzekering en betalingsregelingen. Hoe bepaalt u de keuze voor de juiste Incoterms^® 2020 regel? Hoe verhoudt de gekozen Incoterms^® regel zich tot betalingscondities en douaneformaliteiten? Waar begint de verantwoordelijkheid van de koper en eindigt die van de verkoper?
  
  Dit webinar staat stil bij de belangrijkste wijzigingen in de Incoterms^® regels en de juridische consequenties ervan. Per Incoterms^® regel komen de rechten en verplichtingen van zowel koper als de verkoper aan bod. Er is uitgebreid aandacht voor de impact van de  Incoterms^® 2020 regels op de praktijk, waaronder de samenhang met exportdocumenten, douaneformaliteiten en betalingscondities.

  Friday 10 December 2021
  ICC Netherlands Centennial Conference
  Peace Palace, The Hague
  

  Today, a century ago, a group of visionary Dutch entrepreneurs founded ICC Netherlands, in the aftermath of the First World War, when no world system of rules governed trade, investment, finance or commercial relations. ICC Netherlands’ founders decided not to wait and instead organized themselves to set global standards for business, in cooperation with entrepreneurs from other countries.
  
  ICC Netherlands became one of the first local offices of the International Chamber of Commerce, which would quickly become ICC The world business organization, the largest business organization in the world, currently representing 43 million member companies in 130 countries. Up until today they are being called ‘Merchants of Peace’, as ICC was founded under the covenant ‘if goods don't cross borders, soldiers will’.
  
  Reason for ICC Netherlands to reflect on its 100th anniversary and on the preconditions for sustainable international trade for the century to come on Friday 10 December 2021.
  
  Mark your calendar for Friday 10 December 2021 for the unique ICC Netherlands Centennial Conference with speakers and guests from home and abroad. We eagerly look forward to welcoming you at the Peace Palace in The Hague.
  
  Further information will follow. In case you have questions, please contact the ICC Netherlands office at info@icc.nl

• Expo 2022 Floriade Almere

  • Start
    01 Apr 2022
  •  
    (UTC+02:00)
  • End
    31 Oct 2022
  •  
    (UTC+01:00)

  Expo 2022 Floriade Almere will be the 7^th International Horticultural Expo in the Netherlands. For six months, the attention to the theme ‘Growing Green Cities’ will be focused on the cities of the future. Visitors will have a unique and meaningful experience: during the expo they will be invited to ‘explore, touch and change’.

  This expo will be the start of a new city district close to Amsterdam in the Netherlands called Almere. Almost everything that will be built for the exhibition will become a permanent part of the legacy of Almere. The structures will remain and become part of the community for future activities.

  The Earth has seven billion inhabitants and growing, and more than fifty percent live in cities. By 2050, this percentage will have increased to nearly seventy percent. With continued and relentless urbanisation, we have no option but to look for new ways to keep our cities safe, healthy and attractive and to find a better balance between ‘grey’ and ‘green’ infrastructure. We invite the world to join us and to contribute to our theme: Growing Green Cities.

  Within this context, four sub-themes are explored:

  Green: Parks – vertical green on buildings and green structures make cities more attractive and resilient;

  Food:Food habits, -production, -waste, -safety and food security solutions;

  Health:The contribution of green structures to a healthy living environment as well as the
  contribution made by green spaces to the physical and mental vitality of the citizens;

  Energy:Finding solutions to address sustainable energy, heat stress and climate adaptation, as well as the contribution of green spaces for a liveable city.

  Food production plays a major role in the green city of the future. The question is, what role can agriculture and horticulture play in accelerating this vision? The Netherlands is the second largest food producer worldwide, which is special given its small area for growing. This makes the Netherlands a hotspot for potential agricultural and horticultural innovations.

  Floriade will open its doors for six months from: April-October 2022.
