First, for those of you that aren’t all too familiar, a little more about the SNiC: The SNIC itself 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.
This year the theme will be CreativIT, focussing on the creative ways our industry is rapidly developing. Information on the different tracks can be found on our website. Speakers will be announced on Instagram (snic_creativit), but one of them is our keynote speaker Sam Aaron. During his talk "Code Like a DJ with Sonic PI" he will be live coding a show for us!

Continue readingGraph Theory for Fraud Detection at Booking.com - Rajat Saxena Conventional fraud detection has historically been centered around linear relationships between user indicators. The weak point of this setup is that we miss out on transitive relationships, which becomes an increasingly interesting factor when fraudsters reuse few overlapping indicators in new fraud attempts.In this presentation we will show how we developed an in-house technological ecosystem that stores fraud attempts in graph format and leveraged state of the art algorithms to compute innovative graph features that enriches our existing fraud controls (ML models and static rules). Founded in 1996 in Amsterdam, Booking.com has grown from a small Dutch startup to one of the world’s leading digital travel companies. By investing in the technology that helps take the friction out of travel, Booking.com seamlessly connects millions of travelers with memorable experiences, a range of transport options and incredible places to stay – from homes to hotels and much more. Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve, priority will be given to students that sign up with their GEWIS account.

Continue readingAre you interested in contributing to the open source projects that power GEWIS? Do you want to learn new skills and collaborate with other students and developers? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should join the Hactoberfest x ABC activity at GEWIS! Hactoberfest is a global event that celebrates open source software and encourages people to participate in it. The ABC is the committee that manages the software of GEWIS by developing and maintaining various applications and services. Together, we have prepared a special activity for GEWIS members, especially first-years, to get involved in open source and contribute to the projects that power GEWIS. For this activity we have several projects available with easier issues that will help you get acquainted with working on larger open source projects:
GEWIS.nl: should be self-explanatory but the GEWIS website is the go-to place for GEWIS members to read about activities, view photos, and be involved with the assocation. It is written in PHP and uses the Laminas Framework, for more information see the GitHub repository. GEWISDB: the decision and member database, you used this when you joined the association through join.gewis.nl! It is written in PHP and uses the Laminas Framework, for more information see the GitHub repository. SudoSOS backend: you may be already be familiar with our bar system when you bought some food or drinks in the GEWIS room or at a social drink. The backend, written in TypeScript, houses all the logic to make that happen, for more information see the GitHub repository. SudoSOS frontend: the SudoSOS frontend is what you see when you go to sudosos.gewis.nl. It allows you to view your transactions and to top up your balance. The BAC uses it to manage the whole systems, from the products, to the users, and the fines. It is written in TypeScript and is currently being moved to Vue3, see the GitHub repository. SudoSOS POS: the POS (Point of Sale) is the interface that allows you to make purchases within the system. It is on the screens in the kitchen of GEWIS. It is written in TypeScript and is currently being moved to Vue3, see the GitHub repository. Do you think you can help with one of these projects? Sign up to this activity and select your project! Do not worry about needing experience, we are there to help you get started. Also, do not forget to register for Hacktoberfest and to bring your laptop! Want to work on another project? Check GitHub and GitLab for projects that have the hacktoberfest tag and see if you can help there. Continue readingWould you like to know how ING is implementing the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9? Did you know that it relates to the recognition of an entity’s financial asset/liability in its financial statement and includes an expected credit loss (ECL) framework for recognizing impairment.
The quantification of ECL is often broken down into its three components, namely, - the probability of default (PD), - loss-given default (LGD), - and exposure at default (EAD).
The IFRS 9 standard requires that the ECL model accommodate the influence of the current and the forecasted macroeconomic conditions on credit loss. This enables a determination of forward-looking estimates on impairments.
During the lunch lecture, we will be discussing the approaches we use in the bank to incorporate the forward looking macro-economic information in the IFRS9 expected credit losses models.
Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve, priority will be given to students that sign up with their GEWIS account.

Since we love to go out of our comfort zones, the borrel will have an out of the box dies theme, namely, REINCARNATION! Because what better time is there to think about death and afterlife than on your dies right? :p
We think birthdays are a time to celebrate life and the living. It is a time for festivity. However, such times may also be enhanced by taking a moment to think about what it means to live on. Therefore Défi would love to present you, the borrelaars, with things that might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but possess a certain beauty which can help appreciate life a little more. This leaves one with all the more reason to celebrate and cheer! This borrel will clearly not be any ordinary borrel, and therefore we have some fun extra's for you! There will be a borrelcard available including five in-theme items for the mere price of only €4! But that is not all! There will also be a unique darkroom experience where you can follow a story about life, death and reincarnation. We are very excited to celebrate our dies and hope to see you there during the borrel on October 12! Lilac hugs <3

Continue readingDo you know the difference between a vulva and a vagina? How much do you know about the human reproductive system? And what can our bodies teach us about our understanding of sex? Join Défi's sex education journey centered around human genitals, presented by two sexology graduates! Not only will you follow an interactive lecture about various (underrepresented) aspects of sex education, we will put our newly gained knowledge in practice by claying vulva's and penises! Of course, you may also clay an erotic sculpture or anything else you wish to sculpt! Did we mention the activity is free???
Background:We all know what our genitals look like, and maybe some of us got to see others as well. But despite sex education being a part of most high school curricula, the general knowledge about our reproductive organs is often lacking. We’re confusing facts with tales, we only know the bare minimum of (heterosexual) intercourse and the anatomy of these organs is a question to most of us. But no worries, Défi has got you covered! Two sexologists will come to GEWIS to give you a crash course on human anatomy, specifically genitals and diversity of human bodies. We will be debunking myths and learning about our own bodies in the interactive session given by these two sexology graduates. But we wouldn’t be Défi, without there being a twist. So afterwards we will put the new learned theory to practice. Here you will get the chance yourself to clay and paint a penis or vagina or any other type of sexual anatomy. All whilst enjoying fun conversation starters, and having the opportunity to ask the sexologists every question you could dream to ask.
So do you want to know more about the human body? Are you curious about the anatomy of reproductive organs? Or do you like to be creative and sculp/paint your own sexual organ? Then make sure to subscribe for the activity! We can’t wait to learn more from experts and we hope to see all of you there at the activity!
Note!: During this activity we would like to create a safe space, in which everyone is respected and consent is highly valued. We want everyone to feel safe during the entirety of the activity, such that we can all learn and have fun together.
Note! There is a maximum capacity of 40 participants.
An "order dinner with us" sign up list (eetlijst) is available, so you can get dinner with us, at your own costs. We will order from Tony's: https://tonyswok.nl/#menu. If you choose Wok, specify [Veggie/Chicken/Pork/etc.] + [Nasi fried rice/Bami noodles/Rice] + [Sauce]!
Lilac hugs,
Défi

Even if you do not have a calculus midterm you are welcome to join and get some nice food and a couple of drinks.
We hope to see you all there, AViCo
Continue readingUiPath is a leading Robotic Process Automation vendor providing a complete software platform to help organizations efficiently automate business processes. A core component of the UiPath platform is UiPath Process Mining, which helps to discover opportunities for process optimization and Robotic Process Automation through state of the art Process Mining techniques. Some of these state of the art techniques are explored, researched and prototyped through student graduation projects.
An example of such a project is “Visual Conformance Checking”. This technique compares process execution data to the process design, providing businesses with a process “as it runs” versus process “as intended” visual comparison. This conformance information can be leveraged to gain better insights and improve the process, such as through Robotic Process Automations.
In this lunch lecture, Dennis Brons will familiarize you with UiPath, Visual Conformance Checking and the graduation project options available.
Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve.

Every first-year student is welcome! In this meeting, you will form groups that become this year's FYCs, and there will be some time to brainstorm about your name (and theme if you want). Last week, there was an information meeting where I discussed what it means to be in an FYC, after which two FYCs from last year talked about their experiences. If you were not able to attend this meeting, you can almost always find me in the GEWIS room, or send me an email (cib@gewis.nl) and I will gladly talk to you about FYCs. In short An FYC is a committee that is made up of first-year students. This means that the workload will be low, since it is mostly aimed at getting to know each other and having fun! As a committee, you can set up an activity like a chess tournament, a movie night, or something completely different! Get creative with it! Besides this, you can earn FYC points by going to activities, joining our borrels (social drinks), passing courses, and much more! There will be something for the FYC with the most points. If you cannot join this meeting, but would like to, please reach out to me!

As a first year student, you can become part of a First Year Committee (FYC) to set up your own activities with fellow students from your year! These committies are designed to connect first year students with each other, and the rest of the association, and they can teach you many new skills.

Continue readingThe tradition of vivid discussions and talk about discoveries has been going on for centuries. Professors from all over the country would gather and talk about becoming the next best Plato, Aristotle, or Socrates. Only the highest of society would be part of these lively debates and could bring out the best and worst in the future historic celebrities. Even though the past is the past, people still look up to them for what they have accomplished.
As the fraternity "In Vino Veritas" we are full of accomplished members who once started in GEWIS. One of the many traditions we have set forth throughout the years was organizing the 'Maand'lijksche borrel' (Monthly Social Drink). I.V.V has always appreciated good conversation while being accompanied by a fine glass of wine and a fellow educated person with a fond appreciation of the Burgundian lifestyle. These 'Maand'lijksche borrels' are famously known throughout GEWIS and are some of the very first activities that I.V.V has organized.
Because I.V.V is such a big endorser of bringing the Burgundian lifestyle to GEWIS and likes to continue the tradition, a new 'Maand'lijksche borrel' will take place on the 8th of September! With this 'Maand'lijksche borrel' being the celebration of the new academic year and potency to enrich the minds of academic achievers, I.V.V will bring sparkling wine and a very appetizing appetizer menu to the social drink! So be sure to visit this social drink, starting at 17:00 in the GEWIS room, and enjoy the beverages and delicacies that I.V.V will bring to you! Be like the academia who went before and enjoy an exquisite glass or numerous glasses of wine during this event that everyone must join to experience the luxurious life every proper student deserves! Also, be sure to wear some nice attire so that you may live up to the standards of high society and shine further than the commoners.
Continue readingAfter a hectic introduction week where you have (hopefully) made a lot of new friends it is time to really start your student life. And no student life without studying. However, you might already heard a lot of concepts you have never heard of, like "Canvas", "MyTimetable", "Plan App" or "Osiris". But don’t be afraid! There is no need to worry. Attending this training will teach you all the basics you need to know to survive all the software at the TU/e.
In case there are more then 100 people that want to attend, there will be a "first come, first serve" policy. In that case the remainder can view the session online.
Don’t forget to bring your laptop!
Continue readingShubham Rawal will provide an interesting presentation on why he decided to go for the 2 year salaried post-master EngD Software Technology program for technological designers with TU/e, give some nice examples of multidisciplinary group training projects and also elaborate on his individual graduation project ‘Automated Transformation of Picture Archiving and Communication System Reporting Templates to HL7® FHIR® Models’ conducted at ROYAL PHILIPS . His thesis won the Software Technology Award 2023.
At the lunch lecture, you will get a great free sandwich and a free drink!

Continue readingOn Saturday September 2nd 2023, a group of international Erasmus exchange students will arrive on the TU/e campus to have an amazing introduction day! Those international students are staying here for at least half a year, but they have no knowledge about the Netherlands, Eindhoven, or this university. To help those students feel at home, we are organizing this introduction day!
Each buddy will get a small group of Erasmus students assigned to them to guide them during the day. Therefore, we are looking for you! On the 2nd of September you will meet your buddies in real life and you will guide them during the day. During this intro day, you will have the chance to get to know more people and make friends from all over the world. The intro day will be completely free for you and there will lots of fun activities. We won't spoil too much but there definitely will be a city tour and a pubquiz.
Please register below to get students assigned! Non-GEWIS members that study at the department of M&CS can also subscribe. Be fast, because there are only a limited number of spots. We hope to see you and your buddy this September.
If there are too many subscriptions, we will let you know Friday morning the day before whether your help is required :)
Continue readingAs a new student at this university, you will find yourself lost on numerous occasions. Perhaps you will have trouble finding the right lecture room or perhaps you get lost on your way to a meeting. If only there was a fun way to get to know the layout of the building...
Presenting, LaserTag in MetaForum (Floor 3 edition). Although very limited in expanding your knowledge of getting to know the layout of the building, it is still very cool to be able to LaserTag inside MetaForum! So be sure to join us and tell all your friends about having played LaserTag in one of the coolest buildings on campus!
NOTE: This activity is meant for Master students but Bachelor students can come too. Priority is given to Master students.
Continue readingIt's the second day of the introduction week. Firstyears are still getting used to the campus and the city that surrounds it. With one party to have already taken place, it is time to step it up a notch! On the Tuesday evening, students will find themselves exploring new magical boundries that partying can bring at the Feestfabriek! So be sure to come here as well that night and make it an evening to never forget! Every GEWIS'er is welcome, just make sure you can prove that you are a GEWIS member!
Continue readingDue to low capacity we, as the Introduction Committee, could use some extra help on Monday and Tuesday during the introduction week. Especially for the business case, campus tour, preparing the BBQ, cleaning the BBQ and the department presentation. If you are interested in helping us out, you can subscribe as volunteer via this form. You are not obligated to be present during all timeslots, even helping out during one of the timeslots would be very appreciated!
Please subscribe here before August 14th. We will let you know when and where we need your help, depending on the amount of subscriptions.
If you help us out, you will gain access to the EPIC department party on Tuesday at the FeestFabriek!
Continue readingHello lovely members!
Even though we are in the middle of the summer break, we are also at the end of the interim exam period. This means that the BAC will organize one of their infamous MAVO borrels on Thursday.
And since we all know what comes after a MAVO borrel, the 42nd board will arrange a delicious hangover breakfast in the GEWIS room! There isn't an unlimited amount of hangover food, so be sure to be there on time!
We're looking forward to seeing you there!
xoxoxo,The 42nd Board
Continue readingDear members, now that the exam week is finally over, we are all enjoying our summer vacation and looking forward to all the activities we planned to do. We guess that you are doing the same. While some days might be filled with a nice festival, a vacation far away, or other fun plans. There will also be some days that are still completely empty. If you're still in doubt whether you want to get some well-deserved rest or whether you want to get the most out of your summer break by planning even more activities, Défi is here to make that decision a little easier for you. On Saturday the 5th of August, we will go see the Canal Parade in Amsterdam! The Canal Parade will start at 12:00 from the Scheepvaart, so we will gather around 11:30 at Amsterdam Central Station. The exact details will be communicated to all participants later on. The Canal Parade will end at approximately 18:00. However most streetparties have already started at 16:00 and the main party starts already at 14:00! So we will check some of those as well. Note that if you want to arrive later or leave earlier, that is fine as well! So if you are straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, curious, asexual, pansexual, gender-non-conforming, gender-fluid, non-binary, androgynous, all of the above or nothing from above, make sure that you subscribe!! The festival itself will be completely free of charge. Défi will bring some rainbow decorations, to make sure you are all decorated for the occasion. But it would still be nice to bring your most colorful clothes. Défi will also bring some snacks for everyone! Do note that drinks should be bought by yourself and make sure to buy enough for the whole day in advance. As it is hard to leave the Parade to buy additional drinks. Also note that while the festival is free of charge, you have to pay (and arrange it yourself) for your travel to and from Amsterdam. However, you can get a group retour for a minimum of 7,15 a person*. So if you are interested in joining with this group deal, you can subscribe with that information and you can form groups yourself to buy this group retour. Additional information on the Canal Parade can be found in this website: canal-parade, additional information about the street parties can be found here: street-parties or you could watch last years aftermovie: aftermovie to get a good impression of the Parade itself. We hope to see all of you on the 5th of August!! In case there are any questions or remarks, feel free to contact any member of Défi or mail to defi@gewis.nl ! Hugs from Défi! *There are some terms and conditions regarding the NS group retour including that you have to take the same train as your main traveller and need to have the same destination (starting point does not matter). For all information you can look on the website of the NS: groepsticket
Continue readingAfter a year of studying and telling your parents how much you loved your time here, especially the BAC borrels, it is time to let your parents experience the same. On the 13th of July, the BAC will organize the 'Os pa en ma borrel', which is Brabants for 'Dad and mom borrel'. As the name explains, you can bring your parents to enjoy a nice cold Grolsch (or a cold soda!) together with your fellow studymates. Next to that, the BAC will make sure there is some food that your parents can prepare, just like they do at home for you. So invite your parents and have a beer with them!
Continue readingDear GEWIS'ers,
Now that the weather is getting better and the only freshness you can find around you is your glass of wine, the time has come again to throw some balls.
As after 3 long years of waiting, the Fraternity "In Vino Veritas" will once again host the legendary "Spel met Ballen" and naturally while you are playing, we at "In Vino Veritas" will make sure that you are never short on wine and delicacies.
Together with a partner, you are able to subscribe in order to participate in the official "Spel met Ballen" tournament and battle other teams for a chance to win the challenge cup. Beware though, the subscription list closes the Sunday before the activity.
We hope to see you on the field, Fraternity "In Vino Veritas"
Continue readingHello lovely members of GEWIS!
You are all invited to join the last Hangover Breakfast of the year! The breakfast will be held on the day after the inauguration drink of the 42nd board. This means the room will be dirty, the board will be very hungover, and there will be no furniture to eat from.
I don't have to tell you; you don't want to miss this of course! We hope to see you then!
Love, The 41st board
Note: We will not have unlimited food so it might be gone if you arrive late. Next to this, we are sure the board would be very happy if you want to help them a bit after your breakfast.
Continue readingOn the 6th of July, we will host the inauguration drink for the 42nd board of GEWIS! During the inauguration drink, a lot of external associations, the department board, GEWIS bodies and members can come to congratulate the new board. We will celebrate their installation with a night full of free beers and amazing memories.
For the inauguration drink, we do need a lot of volunteers. We have to empty the room, protect the board and guestbook during the drink and bring the board home after the drink. We would like to know whether you are available for any of these tasks. Please note: bringing the board home means you are sober. If you are available, please fill in this form.
The obligatory infomeeting, at which everything about the order committee will be explained, takes place on Thursday June 22nd from 12:40 till 13:20. The location will be announced later!
Note that for non-volunteers, the borrel starts around 19:00 (the internal part).
If you have any remaining questions, send a mail to orde@gewis.nl.
Continue readingEvery year, the introduction committee needs intro parents to house all new students. In this form, you will be able to subscribe to the introduction week as a introduction parent. The introduction week is from 21/08/2023 until 25/08/2023. This means that you HAVE to be available during those times. Next to that, there will also be a training day during the holidays where you need to be present. This day is on the Saturday before the intro week, so 19/08/2023. If you are currently studying, you can be an intro parent! You don't need to be a GEWIS member. If you are not able to find a fellow intro parent, no need to worry! You can subscribe now on your own and we can find you a partner! Take note, this year we are using a different selection from last year. Make sure you include why you want to become an intro parent as well as why you think you would be a good intro parent, as this is one of the criteria we will be using. You don't need to write an entire essay, a few sentences is more than enough! Since the deadline has been extended, the subscriptions are now on a first come, first serve basis! Subscribe here!
