TL;DR - Subscribe to continue receiving the Supremum (also active members!!!)

Dearest readers,

Over the last 57 years, we have been creating the Supremum for you with much love and dedication. Every edition has a lot of time and care put into it, and we are proud every time we are able to deliver the next one. Knowing that you, the readers, also continue to enjoy receiving and reading our beloved magazine is truly special, and a great motivator for us.

Last year, we changed how we distribute the Supremum, to reduce some of the costs associated with printing and delivery of this magazine. Rather than an opt-out list, where all active members receive the Supremum unless they opt out, we now use an opt-in list. This means that if you want to receive the Supremum, even as an active member, you HAVE to subscribe to this opt-in list. If you don't, you will not receive a Supremum!

As always, there are no costs for you as a member; both printing and delivery are entirely free!

So, if you have enjoyed reading the Supremum, and want to continue to enjoy reading the Supremum, subscribe now!

It's party time, because GEPWNAGE is organizing GEPWNAGE LAN party 10.0! You defenitely don't want to miss this last edition of our famous LAN party!. A weekend of sleep deprivation (optional), lots of food and drinks (optional but strongly recommended) and most important: a lot of gaming (not optional).

More than just computer games -  We have board games, consoles, beer and soda, and other (non-digital) stuff for your entertainment. Just like last year, there are  alpacas on-site! On top of these (gaming) possibilities, we'll also be hosting various competitions, where you can show off your skills and win prizes! Make sure you keep an eye on the poster screens for the latest announcements and get a head-start with practising ;)

So join us February 20-21-22, at group accommodation W'tjewel for this fantastic activity!

For more information, see lan.gepwnage.nl.

Subscribe fast, as there are only 60 spots available. If you are subscribed when the list closes, you are expected to pay (see activity policy for more information). Alcohol is not included in the ticket price. Beers will be sold via SudoSOS on the LAN location.

It is said that the further south you go, the crazier people are about celebrating Carnaval. As people in Eindhoven are already pretty crazy about Carnaval, you can only imagine how insane people will get when you go as far south as you can. 

As Carnaval in Mestreech might be a bit too crazy for some of you, the GEWIS prince will take you to visit Remunj (Roermond) instead, which should also give you an idea of what Dutch southern hospitality looks like. Don't worry if you aren't familiar with the city or Limburg in general, as the prince knows exactly which places are worth visiting!

Register now, buy some nice refreshments for the journey, and prepare for a crazy day full of memories you will never forget!

As always, GEWIS will join the prince in attending the Stropdas Pub Crawl. This pub crawl will take place on the Sunday (February 15th) of carnaval. The ticket sale will open on December 4th at 12:00. These tickets usually sell out within 20 minutes after they become available. You have to arrange your own ticket, so make sure to be on time!

Have you managed to obtain a tie and would you like to do the pub crawl together with the prince? Then join the WhatsApp group via the QR code visible on GEWIS's poster screens!

Looking to celebrate carnaval on the first official day of this beautiful holiday? Or maybe just looking to get rid of the hangover from the day before at the borrel? What better way to do it than by having a wonderful time singing and drinking beer at the Carnaval Cantus?  After taking a break from doing this beautiful event last year, this year the Carnaval Committee is organising an evening full of carnaval hit songs, with the BAr Committee providing you with the freshest and tastiest of beers.  Come buy your tickets in the GEWIS room, from anyone in the CC. See you there!

Alaaf!

It's that time of the year again, after a whole year we can finally enjoy Carnaval again! What better way to start than with this AMAZING Carnavalsborrel where everyone starts off the week of partying. There will be a flashing photobooth where you can show your best outfit, and there will be some free drinks from the Prins! Of course you can also enjoy the delicious worstenbroodjes. So come party at GEWIS!🍻🍻

P.S.

There will be a borrelcard so you can start Carnaval with delicious shots!

After a lot of discussions at GMMs, it is time to evaluate the way money is distributed to weekends organised by organs of GEWIS. Currently, every organ gets a set of amount of money to spend, regardless of the content of the weekend or the number of participants. It can also be difficult for other organs to get budget to organise a new weekend. To find a solution, the current treasurer is organising a brainstorm session on the 11th of February during the lunch.

Join this session to share your opinions and help think of approaches to tackle this for the budget of next year! The session will be led by Hiske and gives room to think of different approaches: no idea is too crazy so do not be afraid to join.

FYC ERROR 418 is all too happy to announce the most incredible board game night is coming on February 10th! 🎉

Have you been waiting to put your strategic mind to use? Have you seen all the games at GEWIS that are collecting dust and can’t wait to discover what they are all about?? Now’s your chance! Join us on this competitive evening: no experience required – rules will be explained. Roll the dice, flip the card and form (and/or break) alliances while enjoying some free snacks!!

Now, the free snacks obviously don’t fill you up as much as a cozy dinner can, so we’re also hosting a potluck dinner! Take a nice dish to share: from homemade to store-bought, from a student meal to a fancy feast, everything is welcome! Please put down what dish you will bring. The more variety, the better!

🫖 What to expect:

-            A delightful dinner;

-            A round of our signature game: Cards Against Humanity;

-            Another wide selection of board games;

-            A whole lot of fun.

We hope to see you there!! We will leave a seat for you at the table. And remember to eat, but don’t cheat (:

Warm regards,

The teapots of ERROR 418

Dear members of GEWIS,

Now that the cold winter months have been upon us for a while, we also find ourselves looking forward to the gentle spring that lies ahead. A time when flowers bloom once more, animals venture outside again, and nature rises in all its full glory. However, we still have some cold to endure - and what better way to do so than with love!

With this Monthly Drinks evening, we are already taking a little advance on the traditional midwinter celebration, Valentine’s Day, and will be celebrating love. Bring along your beloved and enjoy a Valentine’s cocktail together, chocolate-covered strawberries, or of course a glass of wine. Or come alone - and who knows, perhaps something will blossom at the drink.

We look forward to seeing you there.

With due respect,

Dhr. Van Dijke Dispuut “In Vino Veritas”

Once upon a time, there existed a dynamic team of ten influential individuals known as the "Introduction Committee 2025." Renowned for their diverse range of activities, their flagship event was undoubtedly the introduction week. Together with the intro parents and the board, they skillfully guided numerous young, eager students into the realm of student life.

As the curtain fell on the Intro25 quest, a new and exciting adventure beckons. This quest eagerly awaits fresh, enthusiastic members to ensure that the upcoming introduction week becomes yet another resounding success. That's where you come in!

If you would like to become a part of the esteemed introduction committee this year, or would like to know some more about what we do, subscribe and join us on Thursday the 5th of February for an information meeting!

PS: If you have not received a positive BSR yet, you are not allowed to join the committee.

The ANVS (Rijkswaterstaat) is the Dutch regulatory body for nuclear safety and radiation protection. We assess and monitor every application of nuclear technology and radiation in the Netherlands, from dental X-ray machines to nuclear powerplants. Maintaining and improving safety is a continuous process that requires sharp analytical skills and expertise from many different disciplines. With national plans to build new nuclear powerplants, the ANVS is preparing for the challenges ahead. Eline and Darcy will present on the concepts of nuclear safety, the role of the national regulator, the challenges of assessment and inspection, and the international cooperation required to maintain high safety standards globally.

Dear students,

Are you very good at dancing, singing, playing an instrument or do you have any other talent worth showing? Then we are looking for you! GEWIS and the M&CS department are organizing a staff and student talent show! During this talent show you can pair up with your favorite teacher to show off your skills. It will be a great moment to bond with your teachers outside of the classroom, and to perform on a stage.

In order to prepare and find a partner for the show, we will organize a 'matching drink' on the 4th of February where you can come by and sign up with a talent, you can also already look for potential partners with who you would like to perform. The matching drink will be in the Eurandom Lounge (the back of the 4th floor of Metaforum) from 17:30 till 19:00. We will provide some snacks and drinks. The talent show itself will take place in June, so there is plenty of time to prepare!

If you would like to come to the matching drink please fill out the following Form. If you are not sure yet, you can always stop by without signing up. You can ofcourse also sign up if you would like to join, but cannot make it to the drink.

Carnaval is around the corner and you know what that means: drinking a lot of beer and listening to the best hits of the Gebroeders Scooter! Are you an experienced and trained borrelaar? Are you able to beat the horns of the Gebroeders Scooter without perishing in the process? And are you able to stay in bed Wednesday morning? Then we summon you for the biggest challenge of the year!

We would like to invite the few fools brave enough to walk down this road with us. There will be new and special light effects provided by AViCo and the ABC, there will be beer provided by the BAC, there will be defeat, and there will be victors. Rise up to the challenge! Raise your shot glass and do your best!

At 18:00, we will start our challenge with a first 100-minute run. After the first battle, we will have a break of about an hour to enjoy some food from Snackcenter Eindhoven. The list for ordering food opens a week before the start of the activity and closes the morning of the activity. Then, once we all have recovered our inner strength, we will partake in the second 100-minute adventure.

Because we start somewhat late, we kindly ask everyone to also snack or eat something beforehand. Also (as implied), please do not drink any alcohol before the activity starts. There are initially 27 spots available, but this might be increased. If the activity is full one hour after the subscription list opens, there will be a draw.

Due to the nature of the activity, we strongly advise that only experienced borrelaars join the activity. If you are unsure, please contact Bartjan or Sandor.

Due to the winter weather you have been stuck inside your home. You are feeling very lonely, and you need to touch some grass. To make you feel better, we have the solution: Go hiking together! This year we will be going to Maarheeze!

After the hike on Saturday we will warm up and enjoy a nice Dutch meal which are followed by a chill Saturday evening activity. On Sunday we will enjoy breakfast, and have yet another exiting activity before heading home together.

So pack your bags and lets go hiking!

Just like last year we offer two options, you can hike with or without carrying your bags. If you decide to hike with your bag you get a 5 euro discount (who doesn’t like discounts?!). If too many people decide to hike without bags, we will hold a draw among the people that are able to hike with it.

We will go by train, and we will gather at Eindhoven Central.

Initially there will be 25 spots available, of which 8 spots can leave their luggage in the car. These numbers might be increased if interest is shown. If these spots are filled up before 25 January, 2026 at 12:00 PM, a draw will happen. Otherwise it is first come first serve. At the draw, priority will be given to those who can bring their luggage on the hike.

Do you feel maybe slightly less optimal after the beautiful social drink of Thursday? Do you really crave some food to help repair this slight hangover? Not to worry, as the board has got you covered, with a hangover breakfast on Friday at GEWIS! Come by from 10:00, grab some bread, and suffer together with a headache.

What is this thing? There’s a Tequila party! 

I’m telling you people, go to that tequila party!

Done with your exams and feel like celebrating (or drowning your sorrows)? Then we’ve got the perfect solution! For this special drink night, tequila is the shot of the week, so only €1.00!!! And for that price, you also get a slice of lime and some salt. There’s also a tequila-based cocktail to enjoy. And to stick with the Mexican theme, we’ve stocked up on a keg of Corona.

Having trouble choosing? No problem! We also have a fun wheel you can spin for just €2.40.

Even though Día de los Muertos is long past, we’ve got special face paint that glows beautifully under the GEWIS blacklights.

Already excited for the first indoor borrel of 2026? Well, the wait is over! Join us for this year's P^x Borrel, where we show  what social drinks are all about: Pilsners, Pilsners and more Pilsners!

Although the weather is not as cold as last week, the forecast for the borrel is still quite chilly. But not to worry, this week the borrel will just be inside! Come join us, as we have some great deals to enjoy in the nice, warm Dakterras: two beers for only 2 euros, a meter of beer for only 12 euros and even a nice Broodje Knak for 70 cents a piece. 

We hope to see you there!

A large international furniture retailer operates retail planning at a global scale, spanning sales forecasting, fulfilment decisions, and capacity planning across dozens of countries. While each of these domains can be complex on its own, the real challenge lies in aligning them into a coherent and reliable planning process that can adapt to volatile business conditions. 

In this lunch lecture, we will take you behind the scenes of how large-scale retail planning works in practice and where it breaks down. We will discuss the key data and engineering challenges that arise when scaling planning systems, such as fragmented tools, disconnected forecasts, and the tension between experimentation and reliability.

Refugees to identify and communicate their needs.Helpers and organizations to register, verify, and manage their active cases. Together with your team, think of a smart matching system that connects requests with the right professionals; safely, efficiently, and with privacy in mind.Planning:

The Hackathon will be on Saturday January 10th, starting at 12:00, lunch is included! You can register in a team of three and compete for exciting prizes.

Are you expecting to have a massive hangover on the Friday after the Christmas gala borrel? Or are you just not quite in the Christmas mood yet? Then we’ve got the perfect Christmas recipe for you: the BAC Christmas Friday Afternoon Borrel!!

On this festive Friday, we’ll stock the fridges to the brim with (Christmas) special beers. In addition to the trusted regular bottles, we’ll also provide generous 75cl-bottles perfect for sharing with your best friends.

Also don’t forget to pull your favorite Christmas sweater out of the closet! And lastly, because it is a Friday Afternoon Drink, we’ll naturally keep going until MetaForum closes. See you then!

Traditionally, the BAC is once again organizing the annual Christmas gala borrrrel!

This year, this borrel will take place on December 18th, of course in the GEWIS room. 

A delicious welcome drink will be ready for you and during the borrel you can have your picture taken in our photo booth. Therefore, make sure you wear appropriate evening wear so that you look beautiful in the photos! For the rest of the borrel you can enjoy unlimited prosecco in addition to our regular drinks. 

From all of that, you can of course get hungry. Because of this, after the great success of last year, there will be breadjes stoof (or for the vegetarians breadjes caprese) for sale during the borrel.

Disclaimer: The BAC cannot be held liable for a number of GEWIS members who manage to use up the supply of prosecco before the end of the borrel.

Dear members,

Do you miss the active and fun P.E. courses that you had at your primary and secondary school?

Then GESPORT has the perfect activity for you: the GESPORT sports afternoon on wednesday, December 12th from 16:00 till 19:00.

You don't need anything except for some clothes that you can be active in, some shoes that are allowed inside a sports hall, some water and your best mood.

We hope to see you there!

With sportive regards, GESPORT

Christmas is just around the corner, and Défi is here to get you in the festive mood!  On December 15th, we’re collaborating with S.P.V. Blue to organise a Sensual Christmas Pole Workshop that’s all about movement, confidence, and fun!

Dear members of s.v. GEWIS,

As the final leaves surrender to the biting December wind, and student life once again descends into a bleak struggle between deadlines, dropping temperatures, and ever-rising beer prices, a faint glimmer of hope appears on the horizon. For it is precisely then, when morale is low and the need for comfort great, that Hèt Dispuut once more presents the solution: Decadent Weekend.

During the weekend of December 12th to 14th, you shall, together with the gentlemen of In Vino Veritas, take residence in a beautiful estate by the water in Sneek, hidden deep within the Frisian lands. There, where the wind blows freely and the wine flows richly, you will be immersed in an ambiance that could tempt even the most devoted minimalist into a life of indulgence.

On Friday, you will journey to the far North, where a warm welcome awaits. Glasses will clink, a meal will appear, and soon you will forget that study credits were ever a thing. Saturday afternoon, true to tradition, will be filled with experiences worthy of retelling to your future children. Meanwhile, a few members of Hèt Dispuut will remain behind to prepare an exquisite seven-course dinner, crafted with utmost care according to a menu designed by none other than our very own highly esteemed Dux Luxuriae.

For this majestic weekend, there will be room for only 29 guests. So polish your shoes, press your shirt, and allow yourself, one more time this year, to be tempted by all that truly makes life worth living.

Sincerely, Praeses Peters

P.S. This year, it is possible for participants to travel to the venue using public transport. Please indicate if you would like to use public transport or if you want a seat in a car. Also please indicate  if you are in position to grant your car and bring fellow students. Be aware, this year the driving costs will be split among the persons driving with you.

P.P.S. The registration list will open Monday 20th of October 2025, at 6.35 p.m. If the 29 spots are filled within the hour, we will draw lots, otherwise we will use a "first come, first serve" rule.

P.P.P.S. Due to manpower, budget and space, we cannot guarantee that all dietary needs will be accommodated. Vegetarian is an option, but vegan probably not. If you have an allergy, we may contact you to discuss it, as we cannot rule out cross-contamination in the kitchen.

The days are getting colder

Haha, lolpiet lays a shoulder

Having a drink on Thursday at GEWIS

Not joining will be a great miss

So sint was sitting and thinking

What everyone would be drinking

Soda and beer, that's always a hit

But Sinterklaas also has a very nice spirit

Borrelling with your friends, great 'ol time

On December 4th, the Sint is back in his prime

So make sure you and your friends join

And maybe your pockets will be filled with something else than coin

Sint and Borrelpiet

TL;DR: Come to the borrel on December 4th to borrel with Sint and piet (and maybe you'll get some presents)!

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Much love,

The 44th board

Working at Sioux Mathware often means working on the newest technological advancements, dissecting challenging problems by modeling their mathematical counterparts. By creating such a mathematical model, we can provide solutions using our technical know-how. One such problems is the chip milling problem, where the aim is to remove layers of a chip across a large diameter with nanometer precision. Arno will explain more about this project, with Alice providing insights on her internship at Sioux Mathware (relating to the usage of reinforcement learning for scheduling problems).

Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve, priority will be given to students that sign up with their GEWIS account.

SNiC is a yearly Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence congress organised by and for students. This year, the event will be organised by a committee from Inter-Actief from the University of Twente_._ The theme of this year’s conference is AvailabilIT, where we focus on the reach of technology and how it shapes our world.

We will explore concepts such as open source software, privacy-enhancing technologies, and information retrieval. During AvailabilIT, you will delve into how these advancements have made technology more available, secure, and beneficial for society. 

Not only is the day filled with exciting presentations, during the breaks and after the event you’re also able to have a chat with any of the participating companies of the conference. They can tell you a lot about career-related questions and projects that their companies are currently working on related to the themes of the conference.

AvailabilIT takes place on the 25th of November in Orpheus, Apeldoorn. You will go there by bus to enjoy a day full of talks, getting to know companies and enjoying the company of fellow students from GEWIS as well as 8 other associations spread over the Netherlands.

For more information and details about AvailabilIT, you can visit the website here: availabilit.snic.nl. Follow the Instagram for speaker announcements @snic_availabilit!

For only €10,- you can join this congress. This is a reduction of the full ticket price, meant to make the SNiC more accessible to our members. If you subscribe but don't show up, you will have to pay the full ticket price of €25,-.

There are only 78 tickets available. If there are more subscriptions than tickets on Friday 17 October at 12:30, there will be a draw among everyone who is subscribed at that moment. After that, the tickets will be handed out on a first come, first serve basis. If then the amount of subscriptions has exceeded the ticket amount, people will be put on a waiting list. Your name and e-mail address will be shared with Stichting Nationaal Informatica Congres. They will process this data in accordance with their privacy policy.

Students will receive 2 MyFuture points for participation in this activity. Please bring your campus card.

Git, the most popular version control system, used around the world by Computer Scientists for all sorts of project. While it is a wonderful tool, makes managing projects really smooth and has saved many side-projects from being accidentally deleted, it can be quite tricky to master. 

Luckily, there is no need to fear, as we are presenting to you the TRAIN Git Training! Do you want to get to know the difference between merging and rebasing? Between committing and pushing? Or how to manage different branches? Do you actually want to know what any of the previous words mean? Come to the training, where an expert on the topic will teach you all  the basics. The only thing you need to bring is a laptop!

To keep your body fueled, we will provide some free snacks. We look forward to seeing you there!

Choo choo,

Wat do biking and gezelligheid have in common?

That's right! Both are better with beer.

These three beautiful concepts can be found on the BAC beerbikes, together we will bike through Eindhoven with beer, music and a festive atmosphere.

For €27,50 you will be provided with 2 hours of beerbiking and the possibility to drink beer during it.

We will depart our journey from the P+R Fuutlaan, but we will also be leaving from GEWIS with a group at 16:15 to the location.

Do you not drink alcohol? Laf, but don't worry, we also need two drivers who will not drink and be controlling the beerbikes. The drivers do need a valid drivers license. Does this sound like something for you? Then sign up as driver on the subscription list. If there are more than two interested people, we will come together with the potential drivers and come to a conclusion. The drivers only pay €5 for the activity and will be provided with soda.

There is a limit of 32 participants (including drivers), in the case of more subsciptions we will  decide  on a first come first serve basis.

On November 15th, Sinterklaas returned to our nation

Here for our beautiful celebration

And this of course includes putting your shoe at the fireplace

And Sinterklaas filling it up without leaving a trace

He will fill it with surprises and candy

But living without your shoe is of course a little unhandy

So to make sure you are not feeling blue

You can make your shoe using paper and glue

And instead of the fireplace, just put your shoe here

And it will be filled with goodies, unless you have been bad this year

Love,

AC Piet

TL;DR: Make a shoe using your arts and crafts skills and the materials provided in the GEWIS room and check back in on your shoe throughout the next few weeks to find surpires in it.

Next academic year, GEWIS will turn 45 and celebrate its 9th Lustrum! In order to celebrate these festivities appropriately, a lustrum committee will be set up.

Think you’ve got talent? Or at least think you’ve got something? Then this is your stage.

At GEWIS GOT TALENT, you can show off any act your heart desires. Maybe you can behind-the-8-ball cleanly into a Zen rollover with your balisong, drop a flawless Double Infinity on a pen, juggle Grolsch bottles or fold a bak. Perhaps you’re more  into singing the entire GEWIS song, or do you just want someone, anyone, to appreciate that you’ve memorized your OLL algorithms?

A highly professional jury (read: the BAC) will evaluate your performance based on flair, execution, and how many fingers you can still count after. Moreover, it's not just for the fame! There are actual prizes!

So grab your props, your courage, and maybe a towel for the stage, this is your moment to shine.

Note: To make something akin to a planning, we request you to sign up with a short description of your act.

Step into the world of algorithmic trading – join the Optiver Coding Challenge! At Optiver, our teams tackle complex coding problems every day — designing algorithms that must perform under the pressure of fast-moving financial markets. Now it’s your turn to take on the challenge.

We’re inviting students to join a hands-on workshop where you’ll build a trading algorithm in Python that competes in real-time against other teams on our simulated exchange, Optibook.

Your mission? Create an algorithm that helps companies expand into new markets and compete to have the best-performing solution. While PnL (profit and loss) is a factor, it’s not the only criteria we’ll use to determine the winner.

This workshop is a simplified but realistic version of our daily work at Optiver. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how trading really works, life at a trading firm, and the skills to build and test your own trading algorithm.

No prior trading experience? No problem. This session is designed for beginners — we’ll explain the basics of trading and finance, and our team will be on hand to support you throughout the challenge.

Why join?

Push your skills to the limit for a chance to win an iPhoneFood provided during the eventLimited spots available (max 70), so don’t miss out!

Note teams can be up to 4 people, individual sign-ups are welcome please sign up with looking for a team.  We ask you to bring a charged laptop to the event.

Protecting our health and our privacy during a pandemic

During COVID-19, we noticed how crucial it is to identify hotspots. Hotspots are areas with a high concentration of infected people. If no measures are taken the virus will spread quickly. The sooner a hotspot is identified, the better. During COVID-19, this information often came too late. We developed a privacy-friendly technique to detect hotspots without sharing the underlying data. Would you like to know how? Then join the lunch lecture!

Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve, priority will be given to students that sign up with their GEWIS account.

Ready to trade your way through the cocktail market? On the day Défi celebrates 6 years(!), your borrel card becomes an investment fund, and you’re the fund manager!

💰 Coctail Tokens = Your Currency 🍹 Your card holds a number of tokens you can invest in cocktails. The beauty of it? You decide your strategy. Want to put everything into one cocktail you love? Go for it. Prefer to spread your portfolio across a few different ones? That works too!

⚖ Supply, Demand & Strategy Some cocktails might become more popular than others. That means you’ll have to weigh your chances: wait it out and hope your favorite stays affordable, or “sell fast” and lock in your choice before demand drives up the price.

📈 Prices That Change It wouldn’t be a stock market without some volatility… From time to time, the token price of cocktails will shift. Will you hold out for a bargain, or go all-in on your favorite drink before the next price jump📉Market crash

📉Market crash But watch out, sooner or later the market will crash... Oh no! Now you cannot order any cocktail during this time… Only beer orrrr a mystery shot✨ Just tell the BAC a number and that bottle will be your shot! Will you get vodka or something nice? Let the surprise take over and give it a try! Don’t worry the market will open again soon.

🎯 The Big Question Will you play it safe, or take bold risks like a true Défi-er and bet on the cocktail exchange? Either way, your investments will never have tasted this good!

📢 For the Non-Bankers Among Us… Don’t worry if finance isn’t your thing, but start binging those YouTube stock tutorials. Here’s the simple version: each borrel card gets you three cocktails of your choice. Every time you “buy” one, it’s marked on your card. Easy as that.

On October 8th, we are organizing a GEWIS-related game called "AC avoid the BHV" for as many members of GEWIS as possible.

The game is a twist on the iconic game "Mafia", customized GEWIS versions have been created for all roles to breathe some new life into the game.

 Instead of not getting killed by the mafia, the goal is now to avoid being put on water by a BHV'er. 

Play the game tACtiCAlly and make sure you can keep enjoying drinks without intervention.

There will, of course, be free snACks.

So don’t wait and sign up now for this wonderful ACtivity.

It is time to once again get ready to go out your comfort zone! Défi, together with outdoor sports association All Terrain, is organizing this Survival Run with some competitive elements. Maneuvering through tough obstacles, crossing the Dommel on a rope bridge or climbing through tires suspended from a bridge, this Survival Run has it all! After practicing all these obstacles, we will turn all of this into a relay race in which you, together with a team of 4 and reach for ultimate glory! So sign up with some friends and become the best survival team of GEWIS!

No team? No problem! Sign up without a team name and we will find a team for you!

Set your course for a grand adventure across the serene waters of Loosdrecht, where the wind will be our guide and the sails our wings. Step aboard the trusty Polyvalk, a sturdy vessel fit for both seasoned sailors and eager newcomers alike. With room for up to five souls per boat, there’s space for everyone, whether you wish to take the helm or simply relax and soak in the beauty of the day.

With several experienced sailors on board, you'll be in good hands throughout the voyage. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor yourself or completely new to the waters, there’s no need to worry! We’ll guide you through every step of the way. You’ll have the freedom to take part as much or as little as you like. If the weather is kind, take a refreshing dip in the lake or just sit back and enjoy the ride from the comfort of the boat. And don’t worry, if swimming isn’t for you, you can stay dry and still enjoy the adventure!

At midday, we’ll chart a course to a charming island for a well-deserved lunch break. Picture yourself stepping ashore, the sun shining overhead, surrounded by the calm of nature. We’ll relax, share stories, and enjoy good company as we take in the views and savor our meal.

No previous sailing experience is required to join this voyage. It’s all about having a good time on the water, no matter your skill level. So gather your friends, bring your sense of adventure, and prepare for a memorable day!

We’re making travel arrangements, and if we can gather enough cars, we’ll drive together to Loosdrecht. Otherwise, we’ll hop on public transport and make the journey part of the adventure.

We have only room for 20 sailors, so sign up quickly!

Fair winds and smooth sailing await. Will you answer the call?

See you there! GEZWEM

Throughout your academic career, you will need to use LaTeX many many times. Now, there are two paths you can take; get to know LaTeX, fall in love, get married, and live happily together throughout your studies. Or, refuse to use LaTeX until you are forced to, at which point you will be confused, disoriented, and frustrated with it. I think we both know which of those two options is preferable.

As a mathematics student, you will need to use LaTeX already in the first quartile, but computer science students will have to use it as well later this year. To prepare you properly for this, TRAIN is organizing a LaTeX training, during which you will be guided through the basics of how to use it for your homework assignments. **All you need to bring is your laptop!**

To keep your body fueled, we will provide some free snacks and drinks. We look forward to seeing you there!

Choo choo,

TRAIN

(There is a maximum number of 70 participants, spots are handed out on a first-come first-serve basis)

Alaaf!

The Carnavals Committee is looking for a Carnaval name for GEWIS, and we need your help!

In the Netherlands, most cities that celebrate Carnaval take on a different name during this festive time. All of a sudden, we don’t talk about getting a Schrobbelèr shot in Tilburg — no, no, we get one in Kruikenstad! The stropdassenkroegentocht is not a thing in Eindhoven it is a big thing in Lampegat! You don’t celebrate vastenavend in Bergen op Zoom, we go to Krabbegat! Ever seen the parade in Breda, Den Bosch, Maastricht, or Sittard? Never! Maybe in Kielegat, Oeteldonk, Mestreech, or Zitterd though!

Even smaller towns have their own funny names, like Klompengat, Ganzegat, Toeterland, Kattegat, Narregat, Kakkersgat, Theebuikenland, Bommeldurp, Dwèrsklippelgat, Kaaiendonk… and we could go on and on, but we’ll spare you :)

So, as the CC, of course we want to have a beer at “GEWIS,” but it would be so much more fun to have lots of beers at... ???

Send in your ideas via this form:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSftKgvG0Hj5BupYFeGZeF1duZnHSRNYEBhPQk6hN5dCNGGjLA/viewform?usp=header

The Carnavals Committee will pick their favs and make a final poll for GEWIS to decide! The big reveal will be on 11/11 🎉

You have until October 31 at 23:59 to submit your ideas. If you have multiple ideas, don’t be afraid to send them all in!

October is Hacktoberfest, and GEWIS is joining the global celebration of open source! Throughout the entire month, we invite all members, especially first-years, to dive into the world of open source software and contribute to the projects that power our association.

Are you having a calculus entrance test on September 4th 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 such that 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,- 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 midterm 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,

The first newspaper reports of frost and discoloured leaves are landing on our doorsteps. A new season is upon us. The first sounds of deer in their rutting season are heard in the meadows. The new hunting season is here.

As is tradition, the "In Vino Veritas" Society invites you to its monthly drinks reception to open the academic year. As usual, wine will quench our thirst during the intellectual discussions that are the norm at the Society. This year, however, is extra special! For In Vino Veritas, this academic year is dedicated to hunting.

Deer hunting is an art that is not for everyone. However, as experts in the field, we will explain this drinks reception, this phenomenon, in detail. We invite you to join us on September 1st at 5:00 PM. We will provide a drinks menu, snacks, and, of course, wine.

We hope to see you in appropriate attire.

Proost!

Dear First years, 

We are so proud of you for ordering your books! Now you only have to pick them up at GEWIS. You can pick them  up right after the laptop handout on Friday the 29th of August. To reward you for ordering your books and making a great start with your studies, we will even provide you with some free lunch and a free drink! So you can come by to pick up your books, have lunch and hang around with your fellow first year students and the friends you made during the intro week! 

PS: If you did not order any books, but you are still a first year that wants to have lunch with your friends, you are more than welcome to join!

Dear GEWIS'ers,

As many of us are enjoying a well-deserved holiday and the summer is showing itself from its finest side, it is once again time for a familiar phenomenon: the annual “Spel met Ballen”.

Following the success of last year's edition, this event will once more be complemented by a touch of Maand'lijksche borrel. Athleticism and Burgundian indulgence go hand in hand, with high-quality wine and delightful delicacies to recover from the noble act of throwing balls. 

Together with a partner, you are able to subscribe in order to participate in the official “Spel met Ballen” tournament and battle other teams for a chance to win the coveted trophy. Beware though, the subscription list closes the Sunday before the activity. 

Don't worry though, if you're not up for playing a couple rounds on the field, you can also just come and enjoy the borrel.

We hope to see you on the field, 

Hèt Dispuut “In Vino Veritas”

On the 3rd of July, we will host the inauguration drink for the 44th 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 beers 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 Thursday June 19th 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.
