TLDR: Order lustrum-themed GEWIS clothing, because it looks great!!
Order via this link.
Dear GEWIS members,
As you might already know, last June 28th our beautiful association turned 39 years old. And this, of course, means that we have started our lustrum year!!! This will be a year which we will celebrate in many great ways during several amazing activities. But to make this year even more memorable, we will have a very special clothing line.
Having one of the items from this clothing line enables you to tell your grandkids later 'I was there', to give proof that all the amazing stories you tell them about this year must be true. It also can give our members the feeling of unity, as we hopefully are all wearing these awesome clothes during the year (and hopefully many years after).
But all small talk aside, you might be wondering which amazing clothes we have designed for you. These designs can be found at the website of the lustrum: lustrum.gewis.nl.
Furthermore, we do not want to offer you solely one color to choose from, as we want you to feel comfortable in what you are wearing. Therefore we will have the T-shirts and hoodies available in either red, white, black or blue. The bathrobe is a more exclusive item, and we therefore will only offer this in the beautiful GEWIS red colors. All clothing is fairtrade and sustainably produced, ensuring high quality and a low impact on the environment.
At last, you might wonder what you will have to pay for these amazing pieces of clothing. The prices can be found below:
All in all, there are no reasons to be found not to order any of these great pieces of clothing. You can order them at this Google Forms!
Hopefully, we can all see you in these great new clothing pieces throughout our lustrum year.
Kind regards,
GR8-Times
PS: If you fill in the order in Google Forms, you are obliged to pay. If you would like to change anything regarding your order or if you might want to abort your offer (why would you do that?) please send us an email at clothingline@gewis.nl. Also with any other questions, you can contact us there.
Dear GEWIS members,
This week, on June 28th, GEWIS enters its 40th year as an association. Not only does this mean that GEWIS is now officially a boomer, it's also the start of the 8th Lustrum! Over the next year, the Lustrum Committee GR8-TIMES will make sure to deliver you some Great Times. I'm glad to announce the theme to you all, which is- hold on, I am having some interference problems with my internet connection.. Strange things are going on..! I.. what is this, I need to go.
I can only say that there will be a lustrum theme reveal video on the 28th of June at 13.08. There are multiple ways to watch this video. At first there will be a watching party in the GEWIS room. Next to that the video will go onto Youtube HERE. Make sure to watch it!
We hope to see you at GEWIS on June 28th June or later in the year at one of our activities!
Hugs,
GR8-TIMES

Due to the covid pandemic, social life has deteriorated quite a bit. This is true for you as a student and your lecturers. TRAIN, first-year students of the FYC’s Meerkats and GeLØL want to give you a chance to catch up on all the missed small talk this year in our Online Café! After a short and handy workshop on social networking organized by trainers Imre Végh and Jan Reinder Rosing from “Project Wijsheid†(you might know them from Motivation in Isolation and Willpower!).
You will have the chance to meet and get to know 13 of your lecturers and other important people from TU/e on a more personal, casual level. You will be placed in a group with 2 or 3 other students so you also have the opportunity to expand your social network with colleague students. You are encouraged to just grab a beer, grab a snack, sit back and just chat about whatever comes to mind. Make sure to think about some questions or topics you want to talk about with the lecturers and others. In case the conversation gets stuck, you can always rely on some interesting topics and conversation starters as well as some interesting videos and situations to talk about.
There is a hard limit of 50 people to guarantee quality and enough time for each participant so make sure to sign up on time. The event starts at 19:00 and takes place through Zoom. It will be free but please unsubscribe if it turns out you're not available so we can make place for another person. We hope to see you there!
Many high-school students are doing their final exams right now and studying hard to be able to come to the TU/e next year. As many of you might remember, the university always organizes a study-choice check for prospective students. Like last year, GEWIS gets the opportunity to close off the rather serious day with a fun pubquiz! It's a wonderful opportunity for high-school students to get to know each other, but also for us, as GEWIS, to meet our soon-to-be members!
On the evening of June 15, the board will organize up a pubquiz for small groups of high-school students coming to study Applied Mathematics under guidance of GEWIS members. And that's where we need you! Do you want to help out on this cozy evening to meet and guide a small group of upcoming students? Subscribe below!
You don't have to study Applied Mathematics to volunteer for the pubquiz! More details will follow later.
It is almost time for the last exam weeks of the year. It is of course important to take a break from studying every once in a while. Thus we have an opportunity for you! Join us in a fun game of bowling on the 15th of June. We will start at 17:45 and play for one hour in groups of four. So plenty of time for you to relieve some stress and show off your awesome bowling skills! Participating in this ACtivity costs €2,00 for freshmen and €3,00 for other GEWIS-members.
There will be a maximum of 32 people that can join this ACtivity. We are working with a bACkup list, so it is still worth it to subscribe even if there are already 32 people subscribed! Also make sure to subscribe before the 13th of June 14:00.
Hope to see you there!
Hugs, the AC
Cybersecurity is all over the news, from the attack on Belnet to the largest data leak in the Netherlands to even the shutdown of fuel supplies in the American East. Whomever controls the digital market, controls the narrative. This can’t be even more true today. This Exellys keynote aims to provide you with digital awareness, an understanding about the potential dangers that lurk, and the actions we can take to prevent it. Ever wondering which techniques hackers use? Curious about how governments and companies daily combat cybercrime? How does your privacy come into play in all of this? Find it out at the lunch talk. Remember, Big Brother is watching you!
Exellys is a Tech Talent Incubator that matches ambitious companies with the finest tech talent. The content of this lecture will be updated soon, but you can already read more about Exellys here!
GEWIS members will get the opportunity to receive free lunch, either by picking up a free Hubble lunch box (online participation) or there will be lunch facilitated (on campus participation). Currently we can not guarantee that the lecture will be hosted on campus. There will be a maximum of 30 places available for on campus participation.

(Be aware, this event is only for people who registered to be an intro-parent)
Disclaimer: It is not yet certain that this activity can take place in another form than mentioned below or at all.
Dear introparent,
Fortunately, there is a chance that this year we can have an introparent bonding activity (IBA)! This activity will take place on the 14th of June. During this activity we will be playing some games to get you acquainted with the introtheme. These games will be a surprise for now 🙂. This activity will be set up similarly to the borrels; you should subscribe with your fellow introparent and you will be placed on a yellow table together with another pair of parents. To make sure we can facilitate this activity for all subscribed introparents, we have to split up the IBA in two different timeslots. The first timeslot will be from 16:00 until 17:50. The second one will be from 18:10 until 20:00. When subscribing you can indicate which timeslot you prefer or indicate if you are not available in one. When indicating your preference please take into account that during the second timeslot, there will also be another GEWIS activity, namely the pubquiz for new students. So make sure you do not subscribe for both at the same time. (The BAC will be serving drinks so bring your BAC coins with you!) We hope to see you all!
Note: dinner will not be arranged. However, we will make sure there are some snacks for you.
During corona, we spend a lot of time in our rooms. This is not good for our mental state, which already took another hit due to corona. Luckily for us a lot of research has been done on this subject. During this lecture, the following topics will be discussed by three different researchers from the human built environment at the TU/e.
GEWIS members can also get a potted plant at GEWIS if they subscribe!
Voelt het net alsof de muren op je af komen? Ben je toe aan frisse lucht? Wil je de parken van Eindhoven zien?
Dan heeft GEDWAAL de perfecte activiteit voor jou! In plaats van ons gebruikelijke winter wandel weekend hebben we volgende week zaterdag, 12 juni, een wandeltocht uitgezet door de prachtige parken van Eindhoven.
Om de hike uit te lopen moet je onderweg verschillende puzzels oplossen en tochtechnieken uitvoeren om de juiste routes te vinden. Je zal rondlopen in groepjes van 4 man, die wij zullen maken. Maar, als je wilt kan je je inschrijven met een vriend of vriendin en dan zullen wij er voor zorgen dat je samen in een groepje komt.
Om je te helpen met het overleven van eventueel verschillende extreme weersomstandigheden en de onvermijdelijke honger van het wandelen te overkomen hebben we voor ieder groepje een survivalpakket samengesteld.
Wil je graag meedoen? Schrijf je dan snel in, als we dinsdagavond 8 juni meer dan 28 inschrijvingen hebben dan zal er een loting plaatsvinden.
Hopelijk tot volgende week!
WHAT
EuroTeQ Engineering University is looking for an app to reach out to its students and collect their feedback in a continuous and fun way. The app should include elements of gamification and should allow us to collect feedback and share lessons learnt with targeted groups that use the app.
The app is supposed to be engaging and should make students enthusiastic about participating continuously. One way of using gamification is introducing a friendly competitive element to the app. Think of a set of triggers that use university and regional pride to facilitate exchanging ideas and feedback competitively.
OUR MOTTO: DARE TO MAKE IT FUN!
What the app should look like is up to you! Teams will have 24 hours to develop a design idea and a pitch to show their idea to the judges. You do not have to create a demo version (but you can, of course!). We will provide the participating teams with a starter kit, including markers, post-its, merchandise and snacks to get you started.
At the end of the 24 hours, each team will have 5 minutes to pitch their app design idea to the judges. How you pitch your idea is up to you. Just make sure you meet the brief: the app should be a tool for asking feedback and should include gamification elements.
You can pitch your design idea in any way you like, as long as we can watch it via Twitch livestream. Get creative!
All participants of the winning team will get their very own 3D printer!
WHERE
Central introduction, pitches and crowning of the winner will happen online via Twitch live stream and communication between teams will be facilitated via Discord.
EuroTeQ Engineering University offers all participating teams a starter kit, including markers, post-its, drinks and snacks to get you all started.
WHO
Students from the six partner universities DTU, TalTech, CTU, TU/e, TUM and Ecole Polytechnique l'X are highly encouraged to join this event. It doesn’t matter if you are working on a BSc, MSc, PhD or PDEng degree, you’re all welcome to join. You can sign up in teams of 3-5 students.
QUESTIONS?

What is your favorite thing to do when you have a break from lectures and instructions? That’s right, eat, drink and talk with friends. We want to organize an activity where all these things come together, namely a free picnic on campus.
On Friday, the 11th of June in the break (12:30-13:30), there will be one for you guys!
You will get a little lunch package from us with some sandwiches, snacks and of course a (non-alcoholic) drink. All you have to bring is a good mood and “gezelligheidâ€.
You can subscribe below. Also, we want you to make a choice for the sandwiches and drinks so we can order exactly what you want. We do have a limit on the number of people allowed, so if there are too many people the first 50 will have a place to sit. If you are not with the first 50 people then you can pick up the lunch package but cannot attend the picnic.
The activity is meant as an opportunity for first year students, both in- and outside of GEWIS to meet each other under a nice lunch. This means that in case the hard limit is reached, first year students will have priority.
Dear members,
The planned constitution drink unfortunately wasn't in the cards, at least not according to our original plans. Instead we opted for a nice collaboration with the BAC to set-up a wonderful borrel where you can still enjoy the company of the current board in their full glory while they're still here!
You can sign up with a borrelbuddy, much like regular borrels. The theme is peach, so have a look through your wardrobe! ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘Alternatively, order-committee-like attire or GEWIS ties also come highly recommended. To reward you for still showing your love to the current board we will provide you with a nice 'bestuursdrankje' on the side as well.
If more people are signed up than the capacity allows for we will have to hold a draw. Please note that the subscription deadline is Wednesday the 9th of June at 23:59 and we expect you to be there during the entire duration!
We look forward to seeing you,
Distant hugs,
The 39th board of GEWIS ðŸ‘
The world around you is a very malleable place, and you can put your mark on it. Want to learn how? Join the company visit to Prodrive Technologies!
During the company visit, several engineers will explain to you everything about how we want to achieve our goal to realize a lights-out factory containing only (mobile) robots to manufacture all products we develop.
Other engineers will tell you all about our demo setups consisting of high-end computing servers, image processing solutions, and our in-house developed motion platform. Finally, you will be able to challenge your knowledge using several coding challenges, to get a good sense of what working at Prodrive Technologies is like.
Whether you are more interested in theoretical (mathematical) research, or like the practical side of things more, at Prodrive Technologies we might have your dream job in store! So, stop dreaming about that dream job, and make it a reality! Come visit Prodrive Technologies on Thursday the 10th of June and enlighten your day in these difficult times.

Dear GEWIS Member,
After already a few successful drinks, we, as ATHENA wanted to continue this by adding a very "silent" drink in collaboration with the BAC. Therefore, we will be organizing the Sangria Silent Disco Borrrrel on the 8th of June from 16.30-19.30. With the weather improving these days and hopefully COVID nearly behind us, we want to celebrate the start of the summer with you and drink some nice cold sangria's. You can order one card with three different sangrias for only 4.50! You have to subscribe and pay in advance since it will not be possible to buy extra cards during the drink itself.
Everyone attending will also receive a nice RGB headphone during this drink, such that we all can listen to one of the three different music channels.
Due to COVID restrictions, we will have a draw if too many people subscribe.
Hope to see you there!
Love,
ATHENA

Travel back to Ancient Greece with the GEBEP: Euclidean Geometry Mathematics Competition! On the evening of June 7, we are challenging you with some classical geometry problems that must be solved by mere means of a ruler and compass. These puzzles shall, of course, be accompanied by a bottle of Greek wine (or soft drinks) and some traditional Greek food, so that you may be wholly transported to the Mediterranean backdrop against which Euclid wrote his famous 'Elements'.
The competition will take on campus from 17:00-20:00. You can participate in teams of 2 and the problems will vary from easy to difficult so that anyone has a good introduction and more importantly: a fun time!
Everyone who participates pays a participation fee of €1. With this, you get soft drinks and greek food. However, to make the experience complete, you can order some bottles of wine as well! You get the first bottle of wine for €3 and a second bottle for €5. If you're confused, here are the total prices:

W.S.G. Abacus, the study association for Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente, annually organizes a symposium oriented on mathematics. This year we have the great honor of organizing a Nationaal Wiskunde Symposium (NWS). This NWS will take place online on Friday the 4th of June 2021. The theme of this year’s NWS will be “Find your limitâ€.
During the current pandemic humankind, society, companies, and many more things are pushed to find their limits. Social distancing and other measures were applied based on mathematical models about the pandemic. While we believe enough is being spoken about the limiting factors of this pandemic, we became very interested in other limits that humans, society, and mathematics encounter. Some interesting talks during this NWS will cover (among others):
Enroll before the 23rd of May for a free goody bag! You will be welcome to join the NWS, including many interesting presentations. The full program of the day can be found here. You will also find some information about all lectures and lecturers there.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact the board or the organizing party.
