Activities

The exams are once again approaching fast! Of course you need a nice place to study. You might think about going to the crowded library, but we have a better option!

From Monday March 30th until Friday evening April 17th you will be able to study in MF3.101, MF3.102 and MF3.103! 

Of course, this is awesome because:

Some of the rooms will be designated silence rooms and some will be for collaboration.

Hope to see you there!

Have you always wanted to have a drink and have a good conscience? Then the BAC presents the perfect drink for you, the charity drink.

We will drink to donate to two charities. You can help determine which two charities by completing the form below.

There will be multiple ways to donate to the charity. There will be a few free kegs, where you can still buy your beers as a donation.

In addition, we will hold a raffle and an auction with donated items from GEWIS members and the BAC. You can also donate nice items yourself, which you can also enter in the forms.

Finally, you can sign up for certain actions that you will perform for a certain donated amount. Think of this, for a total of 5 euros I fold 1 container. For a total of 10 euros, two containers, etc. You can also indicate this in the forms.

We hope you're looking forward to it as much as we are, and hopefully we can raise a lot of money through drinking.

It is the following form: https://gew.is/charity

Have you always wanted to learn all the beer-games from the real experts? Always wanted to feel what it's like when — POEF! — a new drink is in your hand the moment your glass says: "I'm done"? Then the old-BAC borrel is the happening where you must be.

One time per year, the old-members of the BAC exchange their comfortable spot in front of the bar for a moment of main character energy behind the tap again. This is the moment where they go all out with their yearlong borrel-experiences and deeply trained drink-knowledge, and share it with the new gen. They show how it's done, and more importantly: how it went down back in the days.

Whether you come for the nostalgics, for the 'gezelligheid', or just to upgrade your drink-technique to pro-level — the old-BAC borrel has something for everyone. Expect an evening full of laughter, story times from the dusty closets, unplanned game-vibes and of course: a glass that is never empty. NEVER.

So mark your agenda’s and be there on April 17th, because this is one for the books. You really, really don’t want to miss this. See you in the borrel-zone!

Dear members of GEWIS,

Just as a fine Bordeaux gracefully yields its deepest tasting notes as time passes, so too grow the stories and legends surrounding the Monseigneurs of our fraternity. Our foundations are deeply rooted within these legends, forming the cornerstone of our traditions. It is therefore unsurprising that we cherish our Monseigneurs.

As is customary, "In Vino Veritas" invites you to our month'like drinks. As always, we, the Fraternity of Study Association GEWIS, welcome you to an evening filled with intellectual conversations and robust discourse, naturally fuelled by the steady pour of wine. While we always honour our old members during these drinks, this month we are dedicating the evening specifically to one of our most esteemed: Mgr. Timmerman.

A man of unrivalled standards and impeccable taste, he was famously devoted to the robust elegance of the 2003 Château Roudier. To honour his enduring legacy and his exceptional palate, we shall raise a glass, preferably filled with a vintage that rivals his favorite, to the art of aging, both of magnificent wine and of unforgettable fraternity.

We invite you to join us in this tribute on 20th of April at 17h. A curated drinks menu, delectable snacks, and, unequivocally, ample wine will be provided.

Proost! Praeses Henkemans

Get ready for the new activity of ATHENA and Défi: ATHfiball!

Everyone knows the famous game flunkyball, but to make it a bit more exciting, we made our own versions. Join this tournament of flunkyball, where each game has another twist. 🧶🥏👁️🏈

Sign up with a team of 3 - 5 persons and become the best flunkyball players of GEWIS! If you do not have a team, don't worry, just sign up and we will arrange a team for you!🏆When you sign up, you will play multiple rounds, after which there will be a finale to decide which team is the best! 🥇

However, flunkyball with a simple beer is a bit boring, which is why you can choose what you want to compete with! You can choose out of 3 options: fresh beers🍻, delicious cocktails 🍸or fruity mocktails🍹!

Sounds good right? Subscribe and join us on Wednesday 22nd of April at 18.30 for ATHfiball!

Note: this activity has a limited capacity of 8 teams. If the list is full, first come first serve.

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 🩷🩵

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.

Have you always wanted to try to see if you have that inner Robin Hood or Katniss Everdeen in you?

Well, to kick off the B.O.O.M. lustrum week, we will be hosting an archery workshop in collaboration with Davinci!

Be sure to sign-up quickly as there are only 30 spots available which are on a first-come first-serve basis!

Met Takken!

Do you like good food?

Do you like the warmth of a campfire?

Do you like cooking?

Do all or any of these things appeal to you? Or maybe none of them, but you’d really like to get your hands on the B.O.O.M. Lustrum season pass?

Then we’ve got something for you: the B.O.O.M. Lustrum Campfire Cooking Activity! Build a campfire and prepare your own delicious dinner on it. Whether your mind goes to grandma’s recipes, the cooking skills of Gordon Ramsay, or outdoor cooking videos, the B.O.O.M. Lustrum campfire cooking activity offers the perfect balance between culinary excellence and primitive cooking—resulting in a delicious selfmade five-course meal.

There will also be tasty drinks available via Sudosos. The activity starts at 16:00, because before you can cook on a campfire, you’ll of course need to build it. If 16:00 doesn’t work for you but you can make it at 17:00, please indicate this when signing up. We have a capacity of 25 participants on a first come, first served basis. For allergies, we will see what we can do in consultation, but we cannot guarantee avoiding cross-contamination.

Enjoy your meal!

The world is on fire, groceries are more expensive than your study credits, and the Dutch weather doesn’t seem to know what season it is either.

So we’ll just do it ourselves: one night, four seasons. And probably four stages of drunkenness.

Because Dispuut B.O.O.M. is turning 20, and we’re obviously not letting that pass quietly. The last week of May will be entirely dedicated to our 4th Lustrum, with the grand finale on Friday, May 29th: the Lustrum Gala.

A gala? Indoors? Of course not! Grab your boots from the closet, because we’ve arranged a beautiful outdoor location especially for all lovers of the outdoors.

Don’t have boots? No worries. Sign up for the interest list for LIMITED EDITION B.O.O.M.-proof boots, and we’ll contact you later with the exact price.

The theme is Four Seasons, so expect fresh outfits, sweating on the dance floor, falling people, and eventually ending the night in something resembling a hibernation.

Would you rather enjoy a festive band, fantastic DJs, and a lot of drinks together with someone instead of alone? In GEWIS you can find green stationery to invite your favorite person via a letter.

Everyone is welcome, including non-GEWIS members. They can subscribe themselves, but this is not needed if you indicate that you pay for them.

The costs: first-years: €27,50 |  regular students: €30,- |  non-students: €37,- | Late sign-up: +€2,50

So come experience all four seasons during the Gala on Boots!

Are you excited to spend your weekend in lovely nature and not afraid to engage in some adventurous activities, or just looking for a place to enjoy a cozy campfire all night long, or are you in for both? Then get ready for the B.O.O.M. Active Weekend of 2026!

This year, we will visit the German Eifel. Here we have arranged some great activities for you, both on the Saturday and Sunday. We won’t spoil them yet, but examples from previous years are biking, climbing and canoeing.    Next to this, there is more to enjoy during the weekend, you can “stream” in the river at the campsite (ask B.O.O.M. members for details) and in the evening there will be a campfire to keep you warm. Since we are on a campsite, we will sleep in cozy tents.

You don’t have to bring/buy your own food or drinks as this is all inclusive during the weekend! On Friday you have the opportunity to taste Sako’s famous pasta salad, and on Saturday you can enjoy a nice BBQ. Next to that, we will arrange a sufficient supply of beers and soda (and coffee for the tough mornings, don’t worry).

The weekend will take place from 5th till 7th of June 2026, if you want to join please subscribe below.    As we need enough cars to drive everyone to Germany, people with a car available will be given priority if necessary. This year, only the fuel costs will be compensated, so make sure to start and end the weekend with a full tank. If you have a car available, please indicate this and mention how many places (including yourself) you have in the car. We would also like to know if you have a tent. We will not make tent groups but this might give other people some help in asking around to find a place to sleep :)  

We have spots to bring 40 students to our awesome weekend, so subscribe as soon as possible, first come first serve! When there is a lot of interest, we may be able to scale up, but we cannot promise anything yet!
