The Dutch Astrochemistry Network is funded by the Dutch Science Organization, NWO, to study the origin and evolution of molecules in space. This highly interdisciplinary program combines astrochemical and astrophysical experiments, quantum chemical calculations, laboratory spectroscopy of astronomically relevant species and modeling and observations of astronomical sources. The Network has defined a highly integrated and coherent science program on gas-phase chemistry, solid-state chemistry, interstellar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules, and astrobiology.
