To get some action, we will take you to some great activities in the neighborhood. In particular, on Saturday we will combine a climbing activity with canoeing. To accommodate for different levels of fitness/laziness/love for climbing, we offer two different climbing trails: easy (2,5h) and intermediate (3h), so please indicate your preference.
Of course, this is an all-inclusive weekend! We will spend the night camping in tents, below you can indicate whether you have a tent and for how many people (including yourself). If you don't have a tent, don't worry, just contact one of the people who have indicated that they have a tent (we will not make tent groups). We may also create a WhatsApp group for everyone joining the weekend to ease communication. Soda, beers, and some coffee for those who cannot live without their daily rate will be taken care of, as well as plenty of Sako's pasta salad on Friday and a BBQ on Saturday.
As it is a long walk to Dinant, we are also looking for cars so we can take everyone. Please indicate below whether you have a vehicle available and how many people you can take (including yourself).
We are planning on taking 52 people with us for the weekend, so don't hesitate to subscribe before the list is full!

Continue readingThe Delft-Eindhoven-Twente day (DET-day) is a day focused on the integration of members of the study associations Abacus and Inter-Actief from Enschede, Christiaan Huygens from Deltf, and GEWIS from Eindhoven. After the huge success in the revival of the Delft-Eindhoven-Twente day (DET-day) last year, the tradition of organizing the DET-day will this year be continued by GEWIS, and will thus take place in Eindhoven.
The day will be all about discovering the TU/e campus and getting to know the amazing people from other associations. It includes a campus tour, a worstenbrood-lunch, a pub quiz in Hubble Community Café, a high-end friet-table, and a social drink in GEWIS' own 't Dakterras.
Sadly, Deltf is not able to join us this year for the DET-day, so it will, just like last year, take place in the form of an ET-day. The day will take place on June 8 and will include a unique overnight stay on the TU/e campus (for non-GEWIS participants). More concrete information about the day and the schedule of the day will be provided later, but the plan, for now, is to have the official opening around 11:00 in the morning.

ASML lithography systems are used to produce microchips with nanometer accuracy. Due to a rapidly growing demand for chips, it is of high importance to keep these machine up and running as much as possible. A key aspect of this is that needed service actions can be executed when needed. For this, the correct service parts need to be available.
During this lunch lecture it will be explained how mathematics is used to do a proper trade-off between meeting customers agreements and improving the machines up time while reducing the total cost for having spares on stock.

LIMO is an abbreviation for the Dutch phrase "Landelijke Interuniversitaire Mathematische Olympiade" and is organised this year by Abacus, the study association for mathematics in Enschede.
The problems that the participants try to solve are provided by established mathematicians and companies from The Netherlands and Belgium. The time span available for solving these problems is three hours. After these three hours, the exercises are checked by a group of volunteers and the winner is declared. On the day of the LIMO, there is also a campus tour with a nice lunch and the participants close the day with a dinner. The problems are diversified in difficulty, such that not only more experienced mathematics students can show off their mathematics skills, but first- or second year students can contribute something to the competition as well.
Tom Verhoeff, one of the authors of the LIMO, will organize two training sessions with tips and tricks to prepare you for the contest! One training will be on Wednesday the 3rd of May from 19.00 to 21.00 and the other training will be on Tuesday the 16th of May from 19.00 to 21.00. The training will be held in MetaForum 15.
You can (and should) enroll via the website of the LIMO, before the 12th of May in a team of maximum 4 people: LIMO. Note that for students in their third year or higher, there are additional constraints for team formations.
However, if you can not find other team-mates to sign up with, you can subscribe here such that we (GEWIS) can bring you in contact with other interested people to form a team. The trainings can also be used to find a team!

PhenomWorld is a company that makes cutting edge low-cost electron microscopes. These electron microscopes can be used to create high-resolution images of materials and structures. However, their images suffered from an image distortion effect they called ‘flagging’, caused by vibrations in the imaging system. At Mathware, we tackled this challenging problem for PhenomWorld, by creating a solution that significantly reduces flagging and improves image quality. In this talk, we will share the ins and outs of this project, from understanding the problem to delivering impactful results. Secondly Ruben will talk about a project Sioux did for Xyall. Sioux helped Xyall to design a machine which helps with molecular analysis of cancerous tissue. This machine needs to be able to position itself very accurately, and in this project Mathware helped with this problem using automatic alignments, where we used optimization and image analysis to overcome imperfections in the machine. Note: the subscription closes on the 11th of May, after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve!

We have all the basics covered: a location (Villa Karaoke), a date/time (Tuesday February 7th) and some free drinks (yay!)
But what is a party without a good theme? Being nerds, we of course would like to see your cosplay: Come dressed as your favorite movie / video game / comic character!I know, I know: cosplay takes money and effort. Ugh. That's why we want to see the shittiest, lowest effort cosplay ever! :D
Want to be Mrs. Incredible? Take a red t-shirt, print out the logo, and duct tape them together! Hastily scribbled lightning bolt, your everyday glasses and some stick you found in the woods? That's Harry Potter! Forgot to shave? Just wear a green t-shirt, brown pants, and call yourself Shaggy!
Of course, there will be a prize for the most recognizable + shittiest cosplay, so do your best! Or, well, don't. That's the point ;)You can get your ticket at one of the GEPWNAGE members, or at the door for 2 euros.
P.S.: Don't be dumb and take anything with you that looks like / could be used as a real weapon. Never a good combination with drunk people -_-'

Continue readingTL;DR: Decorate a tree and come chop beer at the bar from 2 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 23 (don't chop the tree svp)
What do you get if you don't eat Ruben's calamari? Right, An angry B.O.O.M. with squid. Huh? Did someone say Driving Home For Christmas! No. But this did give us an idea: let's relive the legendary Christmas Sweather Friday! And in order not to limit this idea only to something conceptual, we invite you and all your friends including Christmas sweater to come to our GEWIS on Friday afternoon, December 23, starting at 13:30. Then you will be enchanted by a true Christmas miracle!
Because what you have heard is true! Not only did St. Nicholas come again, but so did your mother last night! And Rudi and Bou too, of course! In addition, the legendary Friday afternoons at the bar with the endless enjoyment of the guttural sounds of one Chris Rea and consorts will also make a comeback. The last Friday before Christmas you can enjoy an unparalleled activity in which you will be challenged to save Christmas. It so happens that GEWIS has failed to decorate the Christmas tree. Oh no! This obviously needs to be addressed as soon as possible, and only you (and your mate) can help us. Put your best foot forward and try to decorate the Christmas tree in one minute as brilliantly as possible, alone or in pairs, as if it were the last reindeer running around Stratumseind.
Per ball hung, you will receive scores according to a predetermined point system. However, this is not the only thing on which you will receive a score. An expert jury will also judge the general style, quality, distribution, entourage, expression, thoughtfulness, je-ne-sais-quoi, joi-de-vivre and festivity. According to the skills displayed, a worthy prize will be distributed at the end of the activity to the lucky winner, and the lucky winning pair.
But not only winners can cheer, as Christmas is all about togetherness and companionship. So we also have something nice in store for all the losers. These two irascible lads have arranged that there are scrumptious sharing bottles (you can buy one of these, provided you don't drink it alone) of Christmas barley wet in the fridge (we love you, BAC!). These will be available for purchase starting at 2 p.m., as Santa has cancelled all lectures that day! So don't hesitate to stop by, because it will be an afternoon of fun, entertainment, fellowship, laughter, tears and Christmas spirit. Especially for you, with love by us.
Ho Ho Ho, happy birthday Jesus,But also kisses and see you Friday, December 23rd,Rudi and Bou

See you on Thursday!
Continue readingDear members of s.v. GEWIS,
The time has come to celebrate. Year after year of life is being ticked off, and the time to pick up the pencil is approaching. However, where for years our faces have been nothing but smiles, we are now faced with long forgotten facts. Slowly, we are starting to question the self-evidence of our pleasant, comfortable lives.
While the student shakily reviews his banking, and many a bill already elicits mournful faces, pleasure is the victim. Candlelight is exchanged for LED lamp, leather shoe for croc, croissant gives way to casino bread, and during casino night only honor and fame change hands. Only the Lidl Plus card stands between student and bankruptcy.
Anyway, apologies for the somewhat dramatic tone. Nonetheless, the above highlights a distressing problem: decadence is unfortunately the first thing to go under for many, when crisis time has cursed the wallet. However, Hèt Dispuut once again offers a way out: pure pleasure at a friendly price. A Decadent Weekend full of culinary delights, with wine and good company, where everyday life may be briefly forgotten. No headaches getting in the way of deliciousness.
In exchange for 75 euros and a Sunday hangover, you will be taken to the picturesque Ammeldingen bei Neuerburg, where you will be provided with a rude amount of wine and food. Saturday afternoon is devoted to exploring the area, followed by a seven-course dinner for which neither money nor effort has been spared. An unparalleled experience of the Burgundian life.
We hope to greet you all in Germany!
With kind regards,Praeses Gieling

Continue readingHi there culinary geniuses,
Do you like cooking or do you just like eating? Well, GETAART got you covered by organizing a dinner roulette. You can sign up with a partner and experience exquisite dishes prepared by two other pairs and yourself.
The idea of a dinner roulette is that you will create one dish (appetizer, main dish, or dessert) together with your partner and organize a place to serve it (yours or your partner's place). Please enter your preference for the course you would like to cook in the subscription form. You will serve this dish to your partner, two other pairs, and yourself. The other courses will be taken care of by the other pairs.
By the end of the evening, you would have had a three-course meal at three different locations and only made one of those courses yourself. What a bargain, right?
What's more, you will only need to pay a measly 6 euros for this entire feast! The cooking costs for the appetizer can be declared up to €20, the main course up to €30, and the dessert up to €20 (so €70 in total for all cooking costs).
You will also mix and mingle with a lot of people throughout the night and experience the genius culinary creations of others.
To make sure that the travel time is not too long between your courses please let us know where you are planning to serve your dish by email (getaart@gewis.nl) after you have subscribed. The information will only be communicated to members of GETAART, it will only be used for the schedule, and of course all the information on locations will be deleted afterward.

During this wellbeing hour, together with professional Laura Curta we will share our own experiences with everyday addictive behaviors and give each other tips and tricks to keep control of it.

Continue readingDear student,
Coming 30th November the 2022 Edition of the SNiC Congress - CelerIT will take place in the Parktheater in Eindhoven.
First, for those of you that aren’t all too familiar, a little more about the SNiC Congress: The SNIC congress 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 congress. 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 congress.
Now for what makes this year’s edition special. As it may not be very obvious, CelerIT (pronounced Celer - IT) is a play on the word Celerity, which in turn is not a very common word. The word can be described as meaning the swiftness of motion. We have chosen to translate this definition into an interpretation that is applicable to our field of science. Our congress will be all about the bigger picture of how fast technology has been, and still is, evolving. In other words, the swiftness of the rise and fall of technological developments in these fields, where we look both at what has been, the present and what’s still to come.
Now on to mention a few names that will be presenting on CelerIT!
One of our speakers, Philippe Schoonejans, is a project manager at human and robotic exploration for ESA (the European Space Agency). After decades of experience he is currently helping develop a space arm for sampling material from Mars.Another innovative researcher, Amanda Prorok, works in the field of multi-agent and multi-robot systems. Her lab’s research team focuses on finding new ways to coordinate artificially intelligent agents. This involves a very methodological approach to solving many-faceted logistical challenges and has numerous applications to real world systems.You may have heard of a YouTube channel by the name of 3Blue1Brown. They explore challenging (sometimes mind-boggling) problems in mathematics and adjacent fields and present them in a format such that they can be comprehended with little to no prior knowledge while still diving deep into their complexity in a very enticing presenting style.TL;DR Join us on the 30th of November in Eindhoven for an inspiring and engaging congress featuring innovative talks about computer science, company contact and discussion panels; lunch, borrel and dinner included!
You can follow us on snic_celerit on Instagram for updates and check out the CelerIT website for more information!
For only €7,- you can join this event. This includes lunch, dinner and drinks during the day.
There are only 80 tickets available. If there are more subscriptions than tickets at 26 September 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 bases. After that 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 3 MyFuture points for participation in this activity. Please bring your campus card.

On our 16th anniversary we will take you into the mysteries surrounding a Dieszitting. Join the theater with live actors and find out who the infamous killer is in the Murder Mystery game!
As you know from us, it will be a great evening full of theatre, music and dance, but now also the search for the killer. There is a detective who tells us to interrogate four live actors, solve puzzles and finally solve the murder. Of course we will end the evening with drinks at GEWIS! It will take place in MetaForum 11/12 from 6.30 pm. Sign up for this escaperoom with live actors and become part of the Dieszitting Experience with your research team of 4 to 5 people.

Continue readingTemperatures are dropping and the B.O.O.M.en are losing their leaves (except for Ruben, he is somehow still collecting more leaves). Usually this is the time of year during which we tell you to stop whining about the cold and just keep going outside, but we decided to make an exception. Note: We will still force you to borrel outside during the B^x borrel, but more info on that later. As fun as climbing actual B.O.O.M.en might be, for this activity we will be conquering the indoor climbing walls of Neoliet! Additionally, we will also explore some indoor 'speleo' tunnels in which you can both prove your dexterity and unleash your inner child without being judged*. We know that the inflation has not been kind to us this year (classic 'pechgeneratie'), so we got you covered! For the low cost of €10 for sjaarzen, €20 for studying members, or €35 for ouwelullen, you will get all of the following:
Climbing gear rentalClimbing instructions and supervision2,5 hour program consisting of a climbing part and a 'speleo' partCoffee and teaThe program is suited for both beginners and more experienced climbers (or beginners with a lot of confidence), so everybody can sign up!

Also note that there is a maximum of 45 participants. *B.O.O.M. and her members do not guarantee not to make fun of participants
Continue readingDear members of GEWIS, Last GMM, there was a discussion about how GEWIS could best tackle problems involving the retainment of active members. Hence, there will be a brainstorm about this topic. We will talk about what options there are and which of those would be realistic and feasible during this brainstorm, with FREE lunch! The problem: During the last few years, COVID had quite an impact on the influx of active members. This puts more pressure on the active members we have and in order to keep them working on all the fun and projects that are going on, we might need to change something within the association. At this moment, but this has been a reoccurring topic over the past years, there are members that not feel valued enough and would like to see more appreciation for their work from time to time. Possible solutions: During the GMM, there was a discussion about making a new post on the budget focused on "retainment active members". The goal of this brainstorm is thinking about how this could be best implemented. These ideas were discussed before:
The board is totally free in giving something to a group as sign of appreciation. There will be no strict policy and each board can see for themselves how they want to spend it.Organs can hand in a budget to ask for some money, for example if they want lunch during a working moment.Every organ of GEWIS has a standard budget per year that they can spend, this can be either lunch, or a group bonding activityIf you have a totally different solution, or any additional ideas, feel free to send an email to cib@gewis.nl and it will be added to the agenda. At the end of the meeting, we will decide what would be the best way to proceed. Please subscribe if you want to join the meeting so you can receive any additional documents and to get free lunch. If you are not subscribed, you can still join the meeting but there will not be lunch for you. Love, The 41st board of GEWIS.
Continue readingDear members,
Do you miss the active and fun P.E. courses that you had at your primary and secondary school? Do you like activities like “monkey cage” (Dutch: apenkooi) or “dodgeball” and do you want to start the second quarter in a fun and healthy way? Then GESPORT has the perfect activity for you: the GESPORT sports afternoon on the Saturday, November 26th from 16:15 till 18:30.
After the activity, it is possible to get some food at the sports café of the SSC. Please indicate your preference below if you want to eat with us. The menu can be found at here and you can choose one dish for free! (as long as it is not from the "guilty pleasures" section of the menu).
Because of the limited capacity of the P.E. hall, the number of participants is limited to 30, therefore if the number of subscriptions exceeds this, we will have a draw after the closing of the subscription list.
With sportive regards, GESPORT

Continue readingThe Multi Annual Strategic Vision is a document that states the strategy, vision, wishes and goals for GEWIS over multiple years. Almost four years ago, in May 2019, the MASV document was created and presented at AV169. Back then, it was suggested by the Task Force that every four years an extensive revision of this strategic vision is desirable. This brainstorm evening is held to discuss whether rewriting the MASV is necessary. Moreover, a discussion will be held about a possible action plan on how the revision can be done.
Before brainstorming, dinner will be provided by the board. The only thing necessary to attend this session is to have read the MASV document. The document can be found here.
If you want to have dinner, please subscribe via the sign-up list. If you do not sign-up you are also welcome to join the brainstorm! However, then we will not have dinner for you.
Continue readingDid you know that the BAC (BAr Committee) is turning 25 this academic year? And that the BAC (Bijzondere Activiteiten Commissie) is even older? This means that we will be celebrating our fifth en seventh Lustrum at the same time! Most activities will likely take place in May (more on this later). However, we are planning to kick off our Lustrum year with a legendary weekend full of BAC related activities (we’re gonna drink beer, duh). The weekend will take place in the marvelous city of Antwerpen, Belgium. We have put together a filled (but not too busy) schedule, full with activities that every beer-enthusiast is sure to enjoy.
During the weekend, we will stay in a hostel in the middle of the beautiful historical city center. On Friday, we have organized a delicious 2-course dinner where you can enjoy one of the 366 Belgian craft beers that are served. After the dinner, you are free to explore Antwerpen (and its nightlife) some more.
On Saturday afternoon, we will have a tour of a real Belgian brewery! 2 beers are included in this tour, such that we can enjoy the tour even more. After the tour, we will make the streets of Antwerpen unsafe (in a safe way) on 2 beer bicycles, that we are free to use for 2 hours. Of course, beer is included, as is the BOB (designated driver), such that we can all enjoy some beers while on the road. What you want to do for the rest of the weekend is yours to decide, but it is likely that beer will still be involved in some way.
The weekend will only cost you €65 if you are a student and €115 otherwise. Transport, stay in the hostel, dinner for one night, the tour of the brewery and the beer bicycles are included in this price. We can only take 32 people with us, so make sure to subscribe fast! The subscription list opens Friday the 23rd of September at 12:00, if it is full before 17:00 there will be a draw, afterwards it is first come, first serve. Note that students have priority over burgers, as have people with cars.
Note: due to university regulations, freshmen are not allowed to join on a international trip.

Continue readingIt is widely known that in the time of the gladiators the "Gebroeders Scooter Totale Escalatie Centurion" was used to give rise to the strongest of warriors ever to walk on the face of the earth. However, it has been mentioned in the sacred texts that there was a ritual, a pathway, which if one would walk down that road they would become the ruler of Rome. Since then Rome is not quite wat it used to be, but the ritual still persists. The texts were simple; for one to become the ultimate gladiator they would not only have to defeat the "Gebroeders Scooter Totale Escalatie Centurion" part 1 but also the "Gebroeders Scooter Totale Escalatie Centurion 2.0"!
We would like to invite the few fools brave enough to walk down this road to join us. There will be new and special light effects provided by AViCo, there will be defeat and there must be victors. Rise up to the challenge! Raise your shot glass and do your best!
The planning will be to start part one at 17:30 and after 100 minutes we will have a 70 minute break to eat some food from the AMON (dinner list below). After you have restored your inner strength we will continue with part two and see who will survive.
Note: we will use flashing lights/strobes during this activity. Furthermore, food from AMON is at your own expense.

As most of you probably already guessed, the BAC will organize their classic MAVO borrel again on the last Thursday of the exam weeks. These borrels are well known among the older GEWIS members and in case you don't have an exam on Thursday evening or Friday, I would definitely advise you to come visit as well.
Unfortunately, also borrels end, and even more unfortunate, also hangovers can start to form. But no worries, the 41st board got your back! We will provide a delicious hangover breakfast on the day after the MAVO borrel.
Hope to see you then!
Love,The 41st board

New locations (such as cruise ships) are being converted to shelter asylum seekers. You can imagine that in times of war (Ukraine) and the continuous flow of specific refugees (Syrians) the influx of asylum seekers continues. In combination with staff shortages at the Dutch Immigration Service (IND) this causes major problems. The IND assesses all applications from foreign nationals who want to live in the Netherlands or want to become Dutch citizens.We help the IND with a better planning process within the complex migration chain by providing a custom software solution. We need your help for this case!In recent years, the large number of applications has resulted in a backlog of thousands of asylum applications. . This is troublesome for both; the asylum seekers who are waiting for their application review, as well as for the Dutch Immigration Service, that have to pay penalties for long asylum processes.With your team you will help the IND by efficiently reducing the backlog of thousands of asylum applications. For the best solutions you have to take different dependencies into account such as availability of employees, competence (languages) of employees, nationality of refugees, penalties of refugees and of course ethical decisions.Which group will manage to get to the lowest penalty fee, while taking ethics into account?
Please bring your own laptop for this case. This case will be most interesting for mathematics students.After the business case there will be a drink afterwards on costs of GEWIS!*You get 1 MyFuture point for attending this activity!*

Sioux's strength lies in its unique combination of high-quality competences in software, mathware, mechatronics, electronics and assembly. With more than 800 engineers, Sioux supports or acts as the R&D department of leading high-tech companies. Sioux likes to take responsibility: from thinking along in the concept phase to supplying series production. Together with its customers, Sioux wants to add value and build innovative solutions that can contribute to a society that is smarter, safer, healthier, more pleasant and sustainable. **The power of code generation.**Reading code is much more complex than writing code. Yet, a line of code is read more often than it is being written. That's why we need to write a lot of documentation to explain what our code does, and how it works. But now we are writing the same thing twice! Wouldn't it be nicer to write the documentation once, and generate the source code from that? And that's precisely what we've done with SuperModels, an in-house developed application that is capable of performing Model Driven Engineering. We can create models representing how a piece of software or a machine works. From these models, we can generate (part of) the source code. But it doesn't stop there, because once you have the power of generators, why not generate more artifacts such as installers, configuration files, (REST) interfaces? Or even better, somehow clone the physical machine itself? Come, see and listen what power Model Driven Engineering has, and how it might affect your vision of what a programming language is. Casper Smits has been with Sioux for a little more than a year. He joined directly after completing his MSc in Computer Science and Engineering at the TU/e. Being skeptical at first, by witnessing the power of Model Driven Engineering first-hand, he is now a big advocate, and one of the main contributors to the in-house SuperModels toolchain. Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory!

The wine tasting will be held at the GEWISroom from 17:00 until 20:00 and there will be some small amenities from the origin countries of the wines.You can join for merely 3.00 euros as a FRESHMAN and 4.00 euros as an UPPER-YEAR. Sign-up is done in duos, so you can enjoy wines together with a companion.
We want to ensure that everybody gets to taste all the different exquisite wines, due to this there is a sign-up limit of max. 36 participants. If at the end of the sign-up there are more people subscribed than 36, we will hold a raffle.
We hope to see you there and may the wine be flowing richely.
Continue readingBesides doing your homework, or writing essays, LaTeX has much more to provide. The program can handle more than just some images, tables or equations, and if you think you can too, then we have just the opportunity for you.
Next to the beginners training of October 5th, Gijs will also be giving an advanced training! You will learn how to spruce up your files with headers and footers, learn how to make nice graphs using tikz, write down your algorithms clearly, and more! But why stop there? At this training you will also get a familiarity with creating your own class, or even your own packages. There will be exercises too, of course. So you can put your newly learned skills to the test immediately. And it wouldn't be a TRAIN activity if we didn't provide some healthy snacks! We hope to see you there!

Continue readingDonald Knuth is a smart man with ideas. If smart people have ideas, they write books about it. But Donald was fed up with the available text processing software for writing books, so he wrote his own. This became LaTeX.
Nowadays, LaTeX is the de facto standard in scientific text processing. It has built-in support for all sorts of mathematical characters, it can be used for lots of things, like homework, presentations and resumes and it makes your life a lot easier. As a mathematician you will first use LaTeX in Q1 during the Linear Algebra 1 course, as a computer scientist, you will use it during Data Structures in Q3. Because LaTeX is an invaluable skill when you are studying Mathematics or Computer Science, TRAIN is offering a LaTeX-training! The training will be given by our very own Gijs de Man, we will provide some snacks and drinks while diving into the world of scientific test processing. The beginners training will take place on campus, Wednesday October 5th in the evening. There are around 70 places, so be on time. There will also be an advanced training one week later, more information about this will follow soon.

Continue readingHi first-year students!
This Monday, all First Year Committees will be formed! If you would like to join one, please come to MetaForum room 7 on Monday 26th during the break. Every first-year student is welcome!
There was an information meeting last week about FYCs, it doesn't matter if you did not join that meeting. Here is some information about these committees but feel free to send me an email (cib@gewis.nl) or find me in the GEWIS room if you want to know more.
What is a (first year) committee?
An FYC is a committee specially designed for first year students. This means that the workload is low, it focuses on having fun, and you can decide yourself how active you would like to be.A committee is basically a group of people who work on a certain subject together. They meet regularly and members of the committee have different tasks/functions. An FYC always has:
A chair. He or she is the person who leads the meetings and makes sure people do their job on time
A secretary. This person is responsible for all incoming (e)mail and responds to it, and writing pieces for other parties (think about the GEWIS Instagram account, yearbook, or our own newspaper)
A treasurer. With this function, you are responsible for the money. You are the one who makes a budget if needed and collects all the receipts of the costs that were made (for instance for an activity).All extra functions you can come up with yourself. Some examples from last year are music meister (puts on music during meetings/activities), snack manager (gets snacks for meetings), Insta manager, etc.
The idea is that your FYC organizes one activity during this academic year. It is totally up to you what kind of activity this is! We've seen people go sky diving, organize a pub quiz or a chess tournament, or have a karaoke evening in the city.
Together with your FYC you can score points things like joining activities, coming to our borrels (social drinks), passing courses, and organizing activities. The FYC with the highest score wins a nice prize at the end of the year!
Workload
The workload is a bit dependent on what kind of activity you are organizing and how many activities you want to organize. Most FYCs meet once every two weeks, during a break. Experience tells us that this is very achievable next to your bachelor studies!
What is in it for you
The best thing about FYCs is that you get to know a lot of new people from both Computer Science as well as Mathematics. If you for example did not have a very nice group during introduction week, this is a perfect second chance to literally make friends for life.
Continue readingThe beginning of the academic year always brings a lot of excitement along with it: making new friends, learning about new subject matters, but most importantly the EAPC! Yes, really.
The EAPC, Eindhoven Algorithmic Programming Contest, is a yearly programming contest. Here you will solve various programming problems together with 2 teammates (and a trusty, provided cheat sheet).During the day, food and drinks will be provided for you, alongside a laptop. All you have to bring are your best programming abilities!
Are you and your teammates up for the challenge? If so, sign up for the event below! :)
Note: at most 39 teams can participate. If there are more, teams will be selected based on a first come first served basis.
Continue readingDear pizza-loving GEWIS'ers,
We will finish off the AC lustrum week with a pizza baking ACtivity. During this pizza baking workshop you'll be able to show off your masterful dough rolling. Of course a pizza is not only dough, so you can finish the preparation with beautiful plACement of your desired ingredients. Then this immACulate pizza will be finished in a wood fired oven.
We from the AC are looking forward what spectACular pizza's you will AChieve to bake!
Hugs, the AC
Continue readingDear GEWIS'ers,
As part of de AC lustrum week we have of course also planned a borrel on Thursday with the BAC! We will turn the room a nice orange color and you CAn buy a delicious borrel CArd for 8 euros. This will have 4 cocktails on it plus a surprise item. All of course with an orange color. Furthermore, by buying a borrel CArd you automagiCAlly enter a draw where you CAn win the AC Bucket Hat! So don’t lose your borrel CArd even if you have finished all the cocktails.
We’d love for you to wear an orange outfit! Until then! :)
Hugs, The AC
Continue readingDo you love geometric figures so much that you want to give it a try in prACtice? It is the AC lustrum, so here is a classic one for you! Wednesday September 21st, you can come pooling with the AC at SPC Woensel! You will share a table with 3 other members (4 people per table). Everyone can pool for two hours for €2,50 (€1,50 for first years), but if you love it so much and want to extend it with an extra hour, you can do so for 10,50 euro per table. The pooling starts at SPC Woensel at 19:00, but if you want to travel together with us, make sure you're at GEWIS at half past six, so we can head to the pool centre by bike or public transport.
Of course there is dinner for those who don't like to hit pool balls with an empty stomACh. You can only choose for wok, which will be delivered at GEWIS around 17:45. ExACt prices for the wok can be found at https://soho.foodnu.nl/index.php (at the 'wokgerechten' tab). If your wok is unavailable or does not exist, we'll choose for you!
Hugs, The AC
Continue readingHey everyone!
This Lustrum week ACtivity the AC has arranged an inflatable obstACle course, together with a belly slide trACk with lots of soap (ZEEP). The ACtivity starts at 16:00 and ends at around 19:00.If you plan to go on the belly slide trACk you should probably bring some swimwear and a towel.
Hugs, The AC
Continue readingStudents who want to work on solving complex problems in a challenging, competitive, and innovative environment and who want to achieve a leading position in R&D (basic research, applied research, and experimental development) or technological innovation, should consider accelerating their career by continuing their professional development by means of a PhD degree program or a PDEng (Professional Doctorate in Engineering) degree program, in close collaboration with industry.
Robin Mennens will provide an interesting presentation on why he decided to go for the 2 year salaried post-master PDEng (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 “The Philips Remote AI Streaming (PRAIS) platform”. His thesis was nominated for TU/e PDEng Thesis Award 2021.
Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory!
Continue readingWe would like to give our members the opportunity to get a membership card when they become GEWIS members. They were made every year for new GEWIS members with their name and number on it. You can use this card to join all GEWIS activities and be proud of your membership. Furthermore, you can use the card during the borrels (social drinks) to order drinks.
To save the environment, we would like to only print the cards for those who want to have one. If you want to have this reminder of your membership in your wallet, please let us now before the 19th of September whether you would like to receive such a card so we can print them all at the same time.
Continue readingIt's nighttime in Miller's Hollow! Several hidden ACtivities take plACe, some of which will cost lives. You wake up to discover that your neighbor has been murdered, and devoured by werewolves. Can Miller's Hollow unravel the mysteries of the night before the entire town turns into a wolves' meal?
Werewolves of Miller's Hollow is a classic AC game night ACtivity. Rumor has it that this is our treasurer's favorite ACtivity. In addition to the classic werewolves game, we will be playing a faster pACed one shot. This one shot is perfect for people who prefer a faster-pACed game, as well as the CAsualties of the classic werewolves game.
There is an eating list so you won't be as hungry as the werewolves at night. We are going to order pizzas at Domino's. If you want a pizza, please add your order to the eating list.
Of course, there will also be snACks to get you through the evening. All you need to bring is a good mood and friends, because the more, the merrier. See you on the 19th!
Hugs, the AC
Continue readingThe first week of the academic year has come to an end. For some, it is an achievement, and for some, it is time for a nice glass of wine. In both cases, it is a moment of celebration. With every extravaganza, it is customary to have a glass of sparkling wine!
Our wonderful fraternity, "In Vino Veritas" knows how to celebrate these kinds of moments. As most of the older readers will probably know, I.V.V is known for organizing the Maand'lijsche borrel (month like social drink) and the 16th of September is again a moment to enjoy a good glass of wine or bubbles and celebrate the opening of the academic year! As per usual, this event will take place in the GEWIS room starting from 17:00 until 21:30.
During the Maand'lijksche borrel, there will be some small provisions such as toast, cheese, and grapes to enjoy while drinking your wine. You will also find that our fraternity members will be recognizable by their smart outfits and hopefully you can join us in this formal attire.
We hope to see you there! If you are already excited and you can not wait to come to our “Maand’lijkse borrel”, then I suggest that you grab a glass and open a bottle of wine to satisfy your thirst for now.
Continue readingAs you might have noticed, GEWIS organizes a lot of different activities, both fun and educational. Different committees and fraternities organize these activities.As first year student, you are also able to become part of such a committee which is called a First Year Committee. These are specially made for first year students and are a great way to make new friends, learn different skills, and mainly have a lot of fun. We know there is a lot expected of you in your first year and the workload can be heavy. We took this into account when we set up these committees, so please don’t be afraid that you have to do a lot of work and have many obligations. It is really about having a nice time:)
If you think this might be something for you, or you are still not sure, please subscribe below and I will tell you more about how an FYC works, what the exact workload will be, and you’ll hear some first hand experience from people who have been in a first year committee.
NOTE: This is only a sign-up for the info meeting! You are not yet subscribing for a committee itself and can always choose later if you want to join or not.
Continue readingTo start the year off right, GEPWNAGE is organizing one of her classics: Just Dance!*

AViCo organizes the Frietkarborrel, a social drink where you can get yourself some nice chips (French fries) and a snack for dinner such that you don’t have to worry about that yourself. And the best: if you are a first year you even get it for free! (for the other members we also arranged a nice discount of course).
We welcome you all to come somewhere between 16:30 and 20:00 to the Frietkarborrel at the Simon Stevin field (between the Markthall and the pond).
Even if you do not have a calculus exam you are welcome to join and get some nice food and a couple of drinks.
We hope to see you all there,AViCo
Continue readingFor first year students!After 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 135 people that want to attend, there will be a "first come, first serve" policy. You can also attend the training online! Don’t forget to bring your laptop!
Continue readingOn Saturday September 3, 2022, 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!
Every Erasmus student will be paired up with a student that currently studies here, a buddy. Therefore, we are looking for you! On the 3rd 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 February.
Continue readingGolf and karaoke, duh..
Continue readingDear members, as the exams are getting closer and closer, we are already looking forward to all the nice things to do in the summer holiday. We guess that you are doing the same, being in doubt about which exotic island you will explore and what extravagant festivals you will visit. Well, Défi is here to make that decision a little easier for you because on Saturday the 6th of August, we will go see the Canal Parade in Amsterdam!
The Canal Parade will start at 12:30 from the Scheepvaart, so we will gather around 12:00 at Amsterdam Central Station. The exact meeting time will be communicated to all participants later on. The Canal Parade will end at approximately 17:00, however the after parties will have already started by 16:00 so we will go and check some of those out 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!!
Note that the festival is completely free of charge, the only thing you have to pay for (and arrange yourself) is your travel to and from Amsterdam. However, you can get a group retour for approximately 5 euros 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 https://www.amsterdamgaypride.nl/canal_parade/ or by watching last years aftermovie https://youtu.be/uzBkGUMRJOw . We hope to see all of you on the 6th 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: https://www.ns.nl/producten/meest-gekocht/p/groepsticket-daluren

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 Monday June 20th from 12:40 till 13:20 in MF11/12. 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.
