In this case we will give you an insight in a realistic planning problem that our consultants dive into. We help organizations with planning problems by providing them a custom software solution. This happens on our low-code platform (Anago Assemble) by modelling various buildings blocks. Organizations come to us with all sorts of problems. You will help us with a case from the Dutch Immigration Service (IND). The IND assesses all applications from foreign nationals who want to live in the Netherlands or want to become Dutch citizens. You can imagine this is a very hot topic in times of war (Ukraine) and flow of specific refugees (Syrians). 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

Sioux Technologies is a global technology partner that supports or acts as the R&D department for high-tech companies. Working at Sioux, means working together with a team of driven, smart and fun colleagues on high-tech solutions that make a difference. As a talent in software, mechatronics, mathematics, automotive or electronics, you will contribute to the development and construction of complex products, often on the verge of what is technologically possible. At Sioux, you will work on a project for a big multinational in the region or for a promising start-up tackling the next breakthrough technology. Agile has become the most popular project management framework in the world. With more than 70% of all software development companies declaring themselves agile and a myriad of promises for project woes, it has become expected for both employers and (would-be) employees to know it. And yet despite the widespread adoption; Agile for a developer can sometimes feel like just micromanagement with extra steps or even just plain old confusing! In this lunch time talk we'll try and demystify some of the aspects of, and the benefits of Agile. Linniel is a senior software engineer for Sioux currently on assignment with ASML. Graduating in 2017 in the UK he moved to the Netherlands and now has 5 years of industry experience with various companies. Wielding the Agile Manifesto in hand, he was recently certified as an Agile Scrum Master. In his free time, he likes videogames, reading and only half finishing his personal software projects.

We challenge all the modern high tech gadgets we have to do what we want. This challenges the chip-manufactures worldwide to keep up with our demands. ASML is challenged by these companies to provide them with “state of the art” semi-conductor lithography systems. There are many opportunities within ASML to improve our products. To develop these improvement solutions we need to run simulations on mechanics, optics and water, air or temperature flows. To be sure we have an improvement we need statistics to proof the new design is better than the old one. Unfortunately machine parts break down or fail at customer sites, then it is important to have some logic reasoning in order to solve this issue fast in a good way. John van Dijk is an experienced Design Engineer at ASML image sensors, who will explain where within ASML how and which branches of mathematics are applied.
