Activities

Sinterklaas is arriving in our beautiful country again on the 16th of November. We hope everyone at GEWIS has behaved well this year and is on the nice list. Sinterklaas has reached out to us, the AC, to ask if we CAn help him deliver some presents and snacks to the members of GEWIS. Thus we are organizing the SinterklAC ACtivity. From the 18th to the 22nd of November you can come to the GEWIS room and fold and color a paper shoe to place at the GEWIS "fireplACe". During the following weeks up until the 5th of December SinterklAC and his Orange Pieten will ocCAsionally stop by to deliver some small gifts and strooigoed. So make sure to fold and decorate your paper shoe to receive some free surprises.

Hugs, SinterklAC

It's the last Friday of the members' lustrum week! And you know what that means: as soon as the clock strikes 4:30 PM, it’s time for a legendary Friday afternoon drink, the lustrum week VrijMi’Vo!

The fridge will be well-stocked with beer and specialty brews. But that’s not all—make sure to be on time because at 5:00 PM, we’ll be tapping a free (yes, free!) keg of Hangende Harry!

Throughout the afternoon and evening, there will be plenty of opportunities to order some food, play beer pong, or enjoy chats at the bar. We hope to see you Friday afternoon through Friday evening at the GEWIS bar!

Hi gorgeous,

It is time for another ATHENA party🎉, and this time the theme will be: "Most Likely To¨🥃🤍. Have you always wanted to know what everyone thinks you are most likely to do, be or say? The dress code is a *White Shirt*, and we will provide a lot of markers to write on each other's shirt what you've always wanted to say about your friends. ✍🏼  At the end of the evening everyone will have a beautiful shirt with written 'most likely to' statements!

The party will start at 20.00 in the Miller Time, where you will be welcomed with a free shot🥃.  We will also provide some delicious snacks and the first 100 beers are free! 🍺 For the whole evening, mixed drinks are only 💶5.00! 🍹

Buy your ticket at one of the ATHENA members at the following drinks! We hope to see you all there with a white shirt 😉

Love, ATHENA 🦉

Lecture from Bavo Janss

Bavo Janss is not only a thought leader within iO on e-commerce but also a genuine Olympic coach.

Get ready, as the next edition of the SNiC conference is just around the corner, taking place on the 27th of November. This year’s theme is SustainabilIT, where we’ll explore how the IT sector can lead and innovate in sustainability.

First, for those of you that aren’t all too familiar, a little more about the SNiC: The SNiC takes place yearly in November, in a different city every year. It attracts hundreds of students from all throughout the country. It’s a single-day event where lots of speakers come and give an interesting talk about state-of-the-art technology or practices in the aforementioned fields. 

Not only is the day filled with exciting presentations about innovation, during the breaks and after the event you’re also able to have a chat with any of the participating companies of the conference. They can tell you a lot about career-related questions and projects that their companies are currently working on related to the themes of the conference.

With your SNiC ticket, you'll have full access to a day packed with insightful talks on the future of sustainable IT, and of course plenty of coffee, drinks, and snacks.  Tickets are available starting September 30th. Visit our website for all the details: https://sustainabilit.snic.nl. 

Stay tuned for exciting speaker announcements on our Instagram @snic_sustainabilit. We’re thrilled to share that Emiel Kwakkel will be our keynote speaker, offering practical insights into how we can make the IT industry greener.

For only €10,- you can join this congress. This is a reduction of the full ticket price, meant to make the SNiC more accessible to our members. If you subscribe but don't show up, you will have to pay the full ticket price of €25,-.

There are only 85 tickets available. If there are more subscriptions than tickets on Friday 11 October at 12:00, there will be a draw among everyone who is subscribed at that moment. After that, the tickets will be handed out on a first come, first serve basis. If then the amount of subscriptions has exceeded the ticket amount, people will be put on a waiting list. Your name and e-mail address will be shared with Stichting Nationaal Informatica Congres. They will process this data in accordance with their privacy policy.

Students will receive 2 MyFuture points for participation in this activity. Please bring your campus card.

Dear members,

The 43rd board is looking for new, enthusiastic and interested members who aspire to be part of the 44th board of GEWIS. Of course you might have some questions about what it's like to be a board member of GEWIS.  Therefore, we organize an information meeting on the 2nd of December during the break. Here we will explain the basics, such as functions, expectations, etc. There is also room to answer any question you might have! If you are interested in joining this meeting, then please send an email to ithinkiammadeofkandi@gewis.nl, so we can send you more details about the meeting. If you have any questions beforehand, feel free to reach out via mail or to contact any of the current board members.

A second interest meeting is planned in the week before Christmas. Here you will get the opportunity to have 'speed dates' with the current board, so you can gain even more information!

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Much love,

The 43rd board

What does it take to visualize the single atoms of the silicon? How to visualize the structure of a protein on the scale which exposes its DNA structure?

Why the electron microscopy embraces and embeds the digitalization in a rapid pace?

These are just a few questions that we will try to answer during the GEWIS lunch meeting.

Our presenters will introduce the audience to the digital electron microscopy, explaining basics of the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging.

Then the role of the software, and in general computer science in microscopy will be shown and explained.

Finally, the trends and new research areas in the microscopy will be briefly discussed.

Despite the limited time there will be a room for questions and discussion about presented content.

Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve and GEWIS members get priority. You can earn 1 my future activity with this lecture.

Are you ready for a realistic and immersive experience in the world of logistical problems? This case represents the kind of challenges we, as consultants at Pipple, deal with on a daily basis. You are approached by a colleague to join in on a logistical issue with a client, where the exact problem is not immediately clear. You receive a series of emails from a fictional client named LogiSolutions, filled with complaints about deliveries and service.

Your challenge? Identify the core problems and develop a presentation on the 'picking process.' Through role-playing with key players, such as the warehouse manager and the head of IT, you’ll uncover subtle clues. Something seems to be wrong with the 'picking rounds,' but what exactly? Dive deeper into the data to identify inconsistencies and issues. This case offers a unique opportunity to apply your analytical skills to realistic scenarios and provides insight into the complexity of the daily work of a data consultant.

Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 20  spots only with first come first serve and GEWIS members get priority. You can earn 2 my future activities with this lecture.

Dear members of s.v. GEWIS,

Now that the days are still long and the sun still shines through your sunglasses, we do not want to take you thought away from this beautiful summer. Yet, we will already take you to the winter, as we want to take another opportunity to take you away to a castle. Here, while enjoying the crackling of a fire place, you will arrive on the Friday, after you have travelled all the way to the Loonse and Drunense Duinen. Here you will be welcomed with a wine and delightful dinner. The next morning, we will kindly request you to join two I.V.V members on a pleasant Saturday afternoon activity. All of this is to make sure everything is ready for the evening, during which we will serve you a seven course dinner.

Do you, as many did before you, enjoy a weekend of decadency. Then we cannot recommend anything else than join Hèt Dispuut on this prodigious weekend. This all for a small price of 105 euros for a unparalleled experience of the burgundy life.  For this magnificent weekend, there will be 32 spots available, so make sure to subscribe as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Praeses Mokveld

P.S. Given that driving to the venue is required, please indicate if you are in position to grant your car and bring fellow students. Be aware, this year the driving costs will be split among the persons driving with you.

P.P.S. The registration list will open Monday 2nd of september 2024, at 6.35 p.m. If the 32 spots are filled within the hour, we will draw lots, otherwise we will use a "first come, first serve" rule.

P.P.P.S. Due to manpower, budget and space, we cannot guarantee that all dietary needs will be accommodated. Vegetarian is an option, but vegan probably not. If you have an allergy, we may contact you to discuss it, as we cannot rule out cross-contamination in the kitchen.

Are you done with going to uni/work when it is till dark? And when returning home that it is still dark? Then join us on Sunday the 15th of December and we will make sure we will not be inside during these precious light out hours.

We will be walking our way from Boxtel to Oisterwijk trough the beautyfull Kampina area. Halfway we will get ourselves a nice drink at a cozy cafe.

Join the WhatsApp group directly and we will keep you updated. Here or https://boom.gewis.nl/ns/group/  Hopefully see you on the 15th of December

Met takken, B.O.O.M.

Hello everyone, Also this year ATHENA is organising an exciting trip. After having gone to Germany and Belgium with the previous two trips, we have decided to stay within the Netherlands🇳🇱 this year around. After some heavy thinking we have landed on the beautiful city of Leiden🏙. With all its canals and beautiful old buildings and streets we will for sure experience the real culture of Dutch architecture. To make the stay even more exited, this year we will be sleeping on a klipper (a sailing ship) ⛵that is located on the Zijlsingel of Leiden.  The weekend will take place from Friday the 14th of February until Sunday the 16th of February. In addition to the stay on the Klipper we have arranged for breakfast🥐, some fun activities and dinner on the Saturday. The remainder of the weekend you will have free time to enjoy, join us on a beautiful walk through Leiden and visit the many cultural aspects this city has to offer🚶‍♀.  The subscription list will open Wednesday the 23rd of October at 12.30. There are 30 spots available, so be sure to subscribe on time! -    If there are more than 30 subscription before Monday the 4th of November at 12:30 there will be a draw amongst those who subscribed before this deadline. After this it will be first come first serve. -    If the subscription is not full before this deadline, the participants will be based on a first come first serve basis. We will travel to Leiden by train🚄, so please indicate if you have week, weekend or no OV. The exact start and end times of the weekend will be communicated later, based on availability. Not important to forget our weekend takes place starting on the Friday when it is also valentine’s day💞. Of course, we will not forget to celebrate this with an activity on the Friday evening!

Dearest Reader,

We (the Supremum committee) hope you are enjoying reading this edition of Supremum; and all previous ones <3. As always, a lot of work went into creating it for you. Creating the Supremum is something we gladly do with love and we are always very proud of every edition. It is truly special to know that something we worked hard on is received (and hopefully read) by so many GEWIS members. We thank you for this. 

In the last year we have been looking into ways to cut some costs for GEWIS. Therefore, we have decided to make an opt-in list. If you would like to keep receiving the Supremum on your doorstep every time a new comes out, please make sure to subscribe to this activity. This also counts for active GEWIS members! If you do not subscribe to the list, you will not receive a Supremum!

So if you enjoy reading the Supremum and would like to have the next editions delivered to your doorstep, make sure to subscribe to the opt-in list on the GEWIS website activity page, or go to gew.is/supremum.

Note for graduates: if you indicated this year you want a Supremum renewal, you don't have to subscribe for the opt-in list.

As always GEWIS will join the prince and together walk the “Stropdassen kroegentocht”. Again as always it will take place on the Sunday (2nd of March ) of carnaval. The ticket sale will open on the 29th of November at 12:00 (noon).

So be quick as you have to arrange your own “tie” and they normally sell out in under 20 minutes. If you managed to get a “tie” and you want to walk together with the prince,  then you can join the WhatsApp group here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FA9Dl34oEY8LqfZi1NfvCW

It's party time, because GEPWNAGE is organizing GEPWNAGE LAN party F.0! A weekend of sleep deprivation (optional), lots of food and drinks (optional but strongly recommended) and most important: a lot of gaming (not optional).

More than just computer games -  We have board games, consoles, beer and soda, and other (non-digital) stuff for your entertainment. Just like last year, there are  alpacas on-site! On top of these (gaming) possibilities, we'll also be hosting various competitions, where you can show off your skills and win prizes! Make sure you keep an eye on the poster screens for the latest announcements and get a head-start with practising ;)

So join us March 7-8-9, at group accommodation W'tjewel for this fantastic activity!

For more information, see lan.gepwnage.nl

Subscribe fast, as there are only 60 spots available. If you are subscribed when the list closes, you are expected to pay (see activity policy for more information). Alcohol is not included in the ticket price. Beers will be sold via SudoSOS on the LAN location.

However beautiful the Netherlands may be, sometimes we need to get out for a weekend. Unfortunately, we are poor students and don’t have money to book a flight. Before you start to wail in agony, we can present you a better method, a cheaper method, a more fun method: Hitchhiking!

For only 50 measly euros you can make your way all the way to Hamburg!

Though you should know this will not be a leisurely voyage. The goal is not just to get to your destination, but to do it as fast as possible. Find your favorite friend, piece together some cardboard signs and hop in a strangers car! There will be challenges to fulfill along the way which can improve your final time!

Since we don’t have infinite stamina and are hungover on Sunday morning, we will all travel back by train together on Sunday evening.

To help you all on your way and make sure that you build the extensive skill set needed for hitchhiking, we will be organizing an information session with some general information and a couple of helpful tips.

If there are more than 15 duo's within 24 hours, a draw will be held. After this, the subscription will be "first come, first served". Do make sure to subscribe, since there will be a waiting list!

In contrast to previous years, you now both need to subscribe with the same team name.
