Get ready, as the next edition of the SNiC conference is just around the corner, taking place on the 27th of November. This year’s theme is SustainabilIT, where we’ll explore how the IT sector can lead and innovate in sustainability.

First, for those of you that aren’t all too familiar, a little more about the SNiC: The SNiC takes place yearly in November, in a different city every year. It attracts hundreds of students from all throughout the country. It’s a single-day event where lots of speakers come and give an interesting talk about state-of-the-art technology or practices in the aforementioned fields. 

Not only is the day filled with exciting presentations about innovation, 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.

With your SNiC ticket, you'll have full access to a day packed with insightful talks on the future of sustainable IT, and of course plenty of coffee, drinks, and snacks.  Tickets are available starting September 30th. Visit our website for all the details: https://sustainabilit.snic.nl.

What does it take to visualize the single atoms of the silicon? How to visualize the structure of a protein on the scale which exposes its DNA structure?

Why the electron microscopy embraces and embeds the digitalization in a rapid pace?

These are just a few questions that we will try to answer during the GEWIS lunch meeting.

Our presenters will introduce the audience to the digital electron microscopy, explaining basics of the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging.

Then the role of the software, and in general computer science in microscopy will be shown and explained.

Finally, the trends and new research areas in the microscopy will be briefly discussed.

Despite the limited time there will be a room for questions and discussion about presented content.

Are you ready for a realistic and immersive experience in the world of logistical problems? This case represents the kind of challenges we, as consultants at Pipple, deal with on a daily basis. You are approached by a colleague to join in on a logistical issue with a client, where the exact problem is not immediately clear. You receive a series of emails from a fictional client named LogiSolutions, filled with complaints about deliveries and service.

Your challenge? Identify the core problems and develop a presentation on the 'picking process.' Through role-playing with key players, such as the warehouse manager and the head of IT, you’ll uncover subtle clues. Something seems to be wrong with the 'picking rounds,' but what exactly? Dive deeper into the data to identify inconsistencies and issues. This case offers a unique opportunity to apply your analytical skills to realistic scenarios and provides insight into the complexity of the daily work of a data consultant.
