TLDR: cool activities, dark cave, sign up
Are you ready for underground adventures in Valkenburg? Tight tunnels. Pitch-black passages. Walls you'll be clinging to. On Saturday October 3rd, we're ditching the daylight and heading deep into the dark underground for a day that'll push you way outside your comfort zone.
Whether you're squeezing through narrow cave corridors on a bike, conquering rock walls in the dark, or venturing into the unknown on an adventurous cave tour, this is the kind of day you'll still be talking about at the next borrel!
There are 3 activities, out of which you will do 2! When signing up, rank your top 2 activity preferences:
🚲 Cave biking
Discover this great underground landscape, by cave bike! Cycle through the cave, going left, right, seeing a high ceiling, then low again, narrow, spacious, no idea where you are anymore.
🔦 Adventurous cave tour
During this escape tour through the caves, you will discover the stories of the quarry workers, and encounter obstacles they left behind. There will be crawling, sneaking, shooting and even crossing the water!
🧗 Cave climbing
The Scramble Tour will take you to places that normally remain closed to the public. One of the guides will take you over several challenging courses including a via ferrata, and an abseil into the old well. Manoeuvre over the obstacles and stare into the depths.
💭 No preference
Be aware: activities will be split 10/10/10 across the group, so you might not get your 2 faves.

Join this meeting to learn more about what an FYC entails while getting some inspiration from last year's FYCs

If you enjoyed the intro week as much as we did, you are in luck!
How about we follow up the intro week with an intro weekend? You can sign up now for the FLUP (Intro Follow Up Weekend)!
From the 11th to the 13th of September, we will take you on an unforgettable adventure to a secret location! The weekend will be filled with activities, free food and a lot of fun! For only €15 for first years and €30 for older years (You will even get a €5 discount if you don't want to drink beer during the cantus), it's cheaper than staying at home! If you are only available for Saturday, your ticket will only set you back €20 (+€5 if you are planning on drinking beer during the cantus).
So if you are looking forward to a lot of beer and soda, big comfy couches, games, a barbecue, a great pub crawl and a cantus... Find your favourite intro-committee member or board member, or go to gew.is/flup to buy a ticket!
Are you having a calculus entrance test on September 3rd, but you are not yet sure where to eat beforehand? No worries! AViCo & BAC organizes the Frietkarborrel, a social drink where you can get yourself some nice chips (French fries) and a snack for dinner, so you don’t have to worry about that yourself.
And the best: if you are a first year you even get one item for free! If you are still hungry after that, it is €2,25 per additional snack or portion of fries.
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). No need to sign up! There will be enough fries for everyone!
Even if you do not have a calculus start test, you are welcome to join and get some nice food and a couple of drinks.
We hope to see you all there,
AViCo & BAC
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", "TE Timetable", "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 70 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!
Dear members of S.V. GEWIS,
Every year brings its own trials and its own pleasures. For the freshman just beginning their studies, and for the veteran yearning for a salary above the national average, the same quiet expectation applies: that something worthwhile be made of the year. What that looks like differs from person to person, and what feels like a rut to one may feel like a welcome diversion to another. Yet there is one certainty upon which every member may rely without question: the Month'like Social Drink of The Fraternity "In Vino Veritas".
As we do every year, we are delighted to usher in the new academic year in style and abundance. And as we do every year, we strive to offer you something extra, beyond what you have already come to expect from us. White, red, and sparkling wines will flow generously, so that all your desires may be met. The customary delicacies will, of course, also grace the table. New this year is the knowledge we are proud to share: three of our gentlemen travelled to Reims to hone their craft in the fine art of champagne, apprenticed at the renowned house of Pommery.
As newly minted connoisseurs, we shall unfold this phenomenon, this reception, for you with care and refinement. We therefore warmly invite you to join us on the 31st of August at 17:00. Refreshments, and naturally an abundance of wine, will of course be provided.
We look forward to seeing you in appropriate attire, ready for an evening of decadence.
Cheers!
Hey new students! You hopefully survived the intro week. Now it’s time to relax.
Swing by to pick up your new study books before your first year kicks off… and stick around while you’re at it. It’s a perfect chance to meet up with fellow students, and friends you made during intro. You can also connect with GEWIS members. At this activity you can play games, chill on bean bags, and do some fun sports, while enjoying some refreshing drinks!
Meet us on the 28th of August at the Atlas pond. You’ll recognize us from the big red GEWIS tent!
Are you not a first year student? Come by to welcome the new generation of GEWIS members to our association!
3, 2, 1, ACTION!
We'd like to invite all Introparents of the introduction week '26 to the Introparent Bonding Activity! As you all (hopefully) know, this year's theme is Absolute Cinema. Therefore, before attending the introduction week, you'll have to show what you're worth behind the screens.
During this activity you will have to be smart like Oppenheimer, fast like Lightning McQueen, and show teamwork like The Avengers. To make sure each duo will bond well, we have a final prize for the winner!
You will also get some free snacks and drinks so that your tape won't run out of frames to make an amazing film out of this amazing activity!
Only one of the parents needs to sign up, along with their duo.
The BAC "Jagers" were pondering what to arrange for the "borrelaars" during the summer.
With this beautiful weather, we can think of only one thing: a picnic-style borrel! Sitting cosily on a blanket in the sunshine with a delicious treat, it doesn't get more romantic than that. To make the occasion even more fun, we’ve also arranged some themed drinks!
For just €1.95, you can treat yourself to a delightful Aperol Spritz! And if that’s not quite to your taste, we also have a scrumptious Limoncello Spritz available for €1.95.
Naturally, we’ve also arranged some tasty snacks for the picnic. While some nibbles are already being handed out, we’ve prepared wraps for the hungrier "hertjes" among you: a delicious chicken or vegetarian wrap for just €1.05.
See you there!
Dear GEWIS'ers,
Summer is in full swing, and that can only mean one thing: it's time for the return of our beloved "Spel met Ballen" (Ball Game)!
Following the resounding success of the last edition, we're once again combining this sporting spectacle with the Maand'lijksche borrel. A perfect afternoon, where effort and relaxation nicely alternate: first the balls hit the field, then a good glass of wine and some snacks to recover from all that exertion.
Feeling strong enough? Sign up together with a partner for the official "Spel met Ballen" tournament and compete against other teams for eternal glory and the coveted trophy. Heads up: registration closes the Sunday before the activity, so don't wait too long!
Prefer not to hit the field yourself? No worries, you're more than welcome to join us for the borrel and soak up the atmosphere.
See you on the field!

Every 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 with one of your friends!
The introduction week is from 17/08/2026 until 21/08/2026. 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 15/08/2026. If you are currently studying, you can be an intro parent!
You don't need to be a GEWIS member. If you want to sign up with your wannabe co-parent, fill in the form below! In case that you want to become an intro parent but don't have a co-parent, do not hesitate to email us at intro@gewis.nl and we will help you find one!
If the maximum capacity is reached, a draw will take place.
🎉 After your exams, it's time for some AC-tion! 🎉
Need a vACAtion from CAlculations, appliCAtions, and ACAdemic distrACtions? Come join the AC for a (mildy) ACtive outdoor ACtivity pACked with attrACtion, reACtion, interACtion, and maybe even a little bit of chaos!
Wear sporty shoes and prepare for some ACtion. We won't venture ACross the forest, but there's a fair chance you'll ACcumulate a bit of mess as the excitement ACcelerates. ACcurACy is optional; enthusiasm is ACcepted and encouraged!
While other teams are in ACtion, you'll have plenty of ACpACity for relaxation: bring your snACks, drinks, picnic blanket, and enjoy the atmosphere. Consider it a combination of recreation, social interACtion, and strategic snACk ACquisition.
Whether you're an ACAdemic ACe, an ACcomplished athlete, or just someone seeking ACceptance into a CAsual gathering after exam season, this ACtivity has something for everyone. Expect laughter, friendly competition, spectACular reACtions, and maybe a few ACcidental victories.
On the 2nd of July, we will host the inauguration drink for the 45th 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 drinks 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 Wednesday June 17th 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.
On the 1st of July we switch boards. The 44th board will say goodbye to their boardyear, and hand over the keys of the palace to the new 45th board. We would love to do this in the bounds of our own home, 't Dakterras, surrounded by our friends and family. However, as the building closes at 22:00, we cannot. Therefore we propose to move this celebration to our second home, Hubble, still surrounded by our friends and family.
That is where you come in! We would like, and therefore we do, cordially invite you all to attend the Board Switch Activity at Hubble. We will organise some games to celebrate the great times we had past year, and, as is fit for a board of the most beautiful association that exists, celebrate the inauguration of our new board (Do note, this obviously does not take away from the Constitutional drink that will follow later).
We will start at 21:30, and together have some drinks and have some fun. You can also join later. Though the 44th board is still busy at that point, we also encourage you to already have a bite and a drink together before we commence the activity.
We hope to see you all there!
With kind regards,
The 44th board♡
