Activities

GEBALLMERPIEK is back again with a big surprise, the beerpong tournament! Together with your chosen teammate, you'll compete in the ultimate test of coordination, balance, strategy and the ability to blame someone else when things go wrong. Choose your teammate wisely as beerpong is a true team sport: sometimes you carry your partner, sometimes they carry you, and sometimes you just need a partner that will help with finishing the beerpong cups.

The tournament starts with a pool phase, where teams are grouped together and play their matches on moments that fit their schedules. To make this work, we ask you to indicate up to three weekdays on which you absolutely cannot play. Matches should be played with the teammate you signed up with, preferably at GEWIS, before 11th of March. You yourself are responsible for playing all matches. Participation in the pool phase is free, though you will of course need to provide your own beer.

The best teams from each pool will go to the finale evening. There will be glory, a prize for the winners, and eternal fame (at least until next year). Please note: if you sign up, you must be available on the evening of 18 March, as this is when the finale will take place. Participation in the finale requires a small contribution.

During this years' edition of our "NS Hike", we will be walking our way through the nature park Krickenbecker Seen.

We will provide some snacks for along the route, and provide you with a well-deserved drink somewhere along the route!

Join the WhatsApp group directly and we will keep you updated.Here or https://boom.gewis.nl/ns/group/

We hope to see you on the 28th of February!

Met takken,B.O.O.M.

Dear members of GEWIS,

Many of you are familiar with the adage: "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times." This can be used not only to describe the problems of society, but also the relationship Hèt Dispuut has with organizing "Keuken met I.V.V". This by now recurring staple in the activities repertoire is known among the Gentlemen of Hèt Dispuut as an activity that requires a disproportionate amount of time and effort.

The manpower that helps with the activity can be seen as the "strong men". The aftermath, an ecstasy after all the effort, can be seen as the "good times". And then, after some time has passed, when the memory of grocery stress and technical panic slowly fades, the common folk begin to long once more for a new edition of Keuken met I.V.V. There we find the "weak men".

Subsequently, when one of the Gentlemen, after enough meetings and moments of collective overconfidence, utters the dangerous words: "Shall we organize another edition of Keuken met I.V.V?", we have officially arrived at the "hard times".

Fortunately, we will guide you all professionally through these difficult times. After all, the only thing you have to do is cook along with us. This edition will focus, for many an amateur chef, on some more obscure cooking techniques. Specifically, this will be the lobster edition, in which we show that you do not need to visit a three-star lobster bar to enjoy this magnificent product. Naturally, we are aware that the target audience consists of students, so we will try to get the absolute most out of the meat. This means that the courses you will prepare will all relate to the preparation of our favorite ten-legged crustaceans of the family Nephropidae.

This gauntlet, which for years has formed the very foundation of Gordon Ramsay’s inspiration, will take place on Twitch (twitch.tv/hetdispuut) and will start on Sunday March 15 at approximately 5:30 PM. The registration list will open on Friday February 6 and will close on Sunday March 8. Initially, we have budgeted for four groups, meaning it will be first come, first serve based on the registration list. However, if there is once again overwhelming enthusiasm, we will see whether the numbers can be increased, about which you will be informed in due time.

We will ensure that most ingredients can be picked up in the GEWIS room. The remaining ingredients, which will be listed in the recipe that will be published online soon, must be purchased by yourselves for a negligible amount. Please register per group, and only with the person who will pick up the food. The dinner is intended for approximately four to five people. Given the decidedly non-vegetarian nature of a lobster cooking workshop livestream, we will not prepare vegetarian alternatives live, but we will mention possible alternative ideas in the recipe booklet.

This year, after staying in the Netherlands last year, ATHENA would like to leave the country once again, so we are organizing a city trip to Germany, to the historical town of Aachen 🇩🇪! There are many sights to see, like the Aachen Cathedral ⛪️ or the Elisenbrunnen fountain ⛲️ and we will explore it all during our trip.

The weekend will take place from the 24th of April to the 26th. The price includes our accommodation, breakfast for both mornings 🥐, and a dinner on Saturday. We will also do a scavenger hunt 🔍 around the city on Saturday to explore the sights, and some mini golf 🏌️ on Sunday to wind down before heading back home. 

If you would like to explore a new city with friends and take a break from studying for a bit, sign up! The list opens on the 27th of February at 12.30 but sign up fast because there are only 24 spots available. 

-    If there are more than 24 subscriptions in the first hour, there will be a draw amongst those who subscribed before this deadline. After this it will be first come first serve. -    If the subscription is not full before this, the participants will be based on a first come first serve basis.

We will travel to Aachen by public transport, but you will have to pay for your ticket yourself. The exact start and end times of the weekend will be communicated later, based on availability. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us in person, via mail or via a post owl🦉💌. 

We hope to see you on the weekend!

Hugs, ATHENA 🩷🩵

Yarrr!!

Ahoy there maties! 

GEZWEM will be having a sailing weekend yet again, this year on the weekend of the 1st of May! We will be charting the wild northern waters of Sneekermeer, in what is known as Dutch-Scandinavia or Fryslân.

The weekend will be filled with amazing adventures, sailing the seas to new lands, finding treasure in authentic brown pubs, and sharing stories, laughter, and rum between our tents.

For a fair price, we will organize a ship with a crew, quarters (bring your own tent), sustenance, and drink for you to stay and enjoy the riches of the GEZWEM sailing weekend (note that transport is not included in the price).

So join us in this wonderful weekend and endanger the waters of Fryslân during the day, and the brownest of pubs at night. No sailing experience required!!

There are only 30 spots available so sign up now! Subscribe with your best mates and learn what it means to:

Pas op voor die giek!!!

The Batavierenrace is back!

The next edition of the world's largest relay race is scheduled to take place over the weekend between May 9th and 11th, 2026. We will start in the centre of Nijmegen and run 175km, split up into 25 parts, to the campus of the University of Twente in Enschede. The race begins on Friday evening and will finish in the afternoon on Saturday, meaning we will run through the night. 

Throughout the weekend, we’ll be camping on the University of Twente campus alongside hundreds of students from across the Netherlands (bring your own tent). The race is divided into three “shifts”: night, morning, and afternoon. The night shift will travel to Nijmegen for the start, while the morning and afternoon shifts will head to Enschede and be transported by bus to their respective starting points.

And while the race itself is unforgettable, that’s not all; this weekend also hosts the biggest student party in Europe, an experience you definitely won’t want to miss.

It will be possible for participants to buy a sports shirt for +/- €15, but this is optional.  

We are still looking for a sponsor, so the price might still decrease.

While the world does not get much more beautiful than Eindhoven, sometimes you get the urge to go out there and discover the world. Shortly after that, you often realise that travelling is expensive and cancel your plans. But what if I were to tell you that we have found a solution for this exact problem? Go hitchhiking with a buddy; this is a cheap way to travel and a great way to meet interesting people.

But what if I told you that we have found a way to make hitchhiking even more fun? By turning it into a competition, you can win the right to brag to your friends about this. You can even do some challenges along the way to improve your final time.

On the first day, you and your buddy will travel to the capital city of Luxembourg, which is, coincidentally, also called Luxembourg. After getting some well-deserved sleep there, on the next day, you will make your way to one of the biggest cities in Belgium, Antwerp. We also have a fun activity planned for Friday evening in Antwerp. There will, of course, be plenty of time to discover the city before we make our way back to Eindhoven on Saturday evening.

For the low, low price of € 45, or a bit more if you have already graduated, you will receive the following: An overnight stay in both cities, a trip back to Eindhoven, and everything you need to hitchhike.

To ensure that everyone has the required skills to make it to the destinations, we will organise an information session before the weekend to provide all participants with some general information and helpful tips.

If you have student weekend OV, please check the relevant box in the sign-up sheet.

If there are more than 15 duos within 24 hours, a draw will be held. After this, the subscription will be "first-come, first-served". Do make sure to subscribe, since there will be a waiting list!

Note that you will need to sign a contract to join this activity, and get your own travel insurance.
