We are organizing 4 brainstorms, each with a specific topic. This brainstorm deals with current structure and goals of vision document.
During the brainstorming session, we will explore new ideas and strategies for improving goals achieved and to be achieved by the association. Do you want to share your opinion on current goals of multi anual strategic vision? Can you envision a better future for GEWIS? Ready to evaluate what the association achieved and what still can be done?
Join the brainstorm and discussion with free lunch! You can also participate in the brainstorm without subscribing, but then we will not arrange lunch for you.
How we managed to manage 89.000+ mailboxes (so far) Everybody who has worked in IT sometimes dream of how platforms such as GMail or Hotmail are made and managed. While not nearly as big as those, at JouwWeb we currently manage 89.000+ mailboxes which haven't been exempted from challenges and, to be honest, our fair share of failures as well. In this talk I'll take you around the basics of the current setup explaining some challenges we faced and how we managed to solve them. Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory!
There are 135 spots only with first come first served!

Do you feel like you can handle everyone at GEWIS when it comes to mathematics? Or do you just feel like solving some hard Math exercises? Then you should come to the mathematics competition on Saturday 17th of June. We from GEBEP have established a set of challenging mathematical questions which you can tackle in groups of three. To assure you will not feel hungry during the competition, we will start with lunch. This means you and your teammates will be able to focus on the exercises that will follow afterwards. To round off, we will have a small drink together. Here, the winner of the competition will be announced. Of course, we have arranged some prices! At most 70 people can sign up. If more than 70 people sign up, a first-come-first-served policy will be used. Non-GEWIS members can sign up, but if more than 70 people sign up, priority will be given to GEWIS members. Program:

We will provide you with stuff to break, but of course you may also bring your own broken chair, old tv, whatever (all items are from second-hand stores who rejected them because they weren’t good enough to sell anymore or already a bit broken)! Enough safety measurements will be taken to make sure nobody gets hurt. The most introvert person can turn completely wild during this activity!

Dear GEWIS members, For the past two years, Défi has been visiting Amsterdam Pride with GEWIS. We had so much fun with you, that we are inviting you to participate in Eindhoven Pride Walk. On June 10th, we will gather in the centrum to start the walk at 14:30. The walk is expected to last for 1.5 hours and after that, there will be a party! If you would like to experience this day with us, subscribe! We will send an email with the meeting time and place, as well as a group chat invitation to connect with all the participants! If you have any questions or doubts about whether to join, you can always stop a person with lovely lilac sweaters at GEWIS and talk to us.
Once in a while, we all need to escape our tiny student rooms and make sure to get those muscles moving. To help you, we again have organized a weekend full of activities. Join us at a campsite near Dinant, in Belgium! Enjoy the free 'streaming' service (a.k.a. the river) by day and the (live!) campfire by night, of course with plenty of drinks and BBQ.
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! In case the list is full before Monday, April 3rd at 12am, there will be a draw among those who subscribed. Otherwise it is first come first serve. To make sure we have enough cars, people who can arrange one will have priority if needed.
Met takken!
The 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.
Subscribe before June 4th 23:59! You can sign up using this form; Hope to see you there!

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.

Another year is coming to an end. We laughed, forgot about the previous years as if they were centuries ago, and got to relive what student life is all about. The fraternity "In Vino Veritas" has always understood the needs of students by providing opportunities to live a better life.
To celebrate how wonderful life can be, the fraternity "In Vino Veritas" invites you to join us on the second of June in the GEWIS-room to enjoy a 1920s-style experience with wine and a good 'borrel card'! This 'borrel card' offers the buyer an espresso martini and an old-fashioned whiskey. However, if this is not to your liking, we will still provide tasty wines and delicious delicacies throughout the evening. So make sure to visit the GEWIS-room between 17:00 and 21:30 to join the fraternity "In Vino Veritas" in celebrating a beautiful year!
