Back in the day, during the lockdowns, we from Hèt Dispuut "In Vino Veritas" devised the perfect activity: a cooking show that everyone could follow from home. Now, fortunately, those lockdowns and the pandemic seem like tales from long ago. But, as you may know, I.V.V is celebrating its 4th Lustrum this year! So, when we realized that the last episode was Volume IV, it meant we could organize the Lustrum episode in our Lustrum year!
Thus, dear members, we have carefully heeded the advice of our predecessors and older members: "Whatever you do, never organize a 'Keuken met I.V.V'" and we have set out to discover why they warned us. Fortunately, you don’t have to do anything but cook alongside us! Given the time of year, we will teach you how to prepare a delightful Easter Dinner, with the main course being a Wild Rabbit Stew!
This cooking show, set to rival Hell's Kitchen, will take place on Twitch (twitch.tv/hetdispuut) and will start on Tuesday, March 19, at around half-past five. The registration list will open on Monday, March 4, and will close on Friday, March 15. We will ensure that most ingredients will be available for pickup at the GEWIS room. The rest of the ingredients, which will be listed in the recipe that will soon be online, you will need to purchase yourself for a negligible amount. Please sign up per group and only the one who is picking up the food. The dinner will serve approximately 4/5 people, however, all courses can be stored or partially prepared in advance. (The stew even tastes better if eaten over two days!)
On behalf of Dispuut "In Vino Veritas"

Continue readingInfiniot will be giving an interesting lecture about Gridshield, one of the many projects they perform to make the Netherlands a more sustainable by improving energy.
Gridshield
Gridshield is a project that epitomizes our commitment to innovation. In 2023, Infiniot was asked to revamp and enhance a prototype for the Gridshield module, which started a collaboration with ElaadNL, the hub for smart and sustainable electric vehicle charging. Gridshield is a safeguard against grid overload, dynamically managing the power of charging stations for electric vehicles to ensure stability. Think of it as an extra safety net for energy grids. GridShield is a combination of hardware, software, and data, co-engineered hand-in-hand with ElaadNL. After a 9-month journey, we proudly delivered an operational Gridshield system, poised for real-world testing on a grand scale.
Infiniot
Infiniot is a dynamic IT consultancy firm, facilitating the energy transition from our home in Eindhoven on the High Tech Campus. Our team of IT specialists are part of the projects that form the backbone that drives the energy transition, which is a big swift towards a sustainable energy ecosystem. We're collaborating with major players in the Dutch energy market with innovative and big scale projects that make a lasting impact. With expertise spanning Data Science, Data Engineering, Software Development, and Security, we're shaping tomorrow's energy solutions.

In the weekend of the 24th till the 26th of May, we from GEWIS will once again travel to Nijmegen to run together a distance of 175km to Enschede, divided into 25 parts, running during the night, in the morning and in the afternoon.
Like last year, we are running with two teams, so make sure to subscribe soon to not only run with us but enjoy the biggest student party in Europe on Saturday! If there are not enough subscriptions we will join with one team. In case of too many subscriptions, there will be a draw. We will sleep in our own tents on the campus of Twente University and every time a new team will go to their starting point to take over the responsibility of the prior team to run GEWIS to the finish. Hopefully, you're looking forward to this relay race just as much as we do (or even more of course)!
With sportive regards, GESPORT.
