Coming saturday GEWIS is turning 43 years old! Therefore, the board and the BAC teamed up to organize a fun outside borrel such that we can celebrate the GEWIS dies together!
Celebrating of course means we will have some free drinks for you all, so don't hesitate to take a small break from the stress of exams and get a beer or soda, or otherwise a piece of cake :)
Are you still wondering what the intro kiddos were doing on the laptops whilst meeting GEPWNAGE during the last intro? Or are you still not okay after reading the newest book? Then join us on June 18th for another round of the Minecraft Hunger Games! All necessary equipment (like laptops) will be provided by us. And yes, like the kiddos back then, there is a small prize for the winners (something a little more useful than valuta though). May the odds be ever in your favor!
🎉 ALL FYC's Present: FYC Farewell Foosball! 🌞⚽
A summer send-off like no other — it’s time to play, party, and say farewell (for now)! 💥🎓
Exams are near, stress is real… but so is this break you desperately need. That’s why all the FYC's are teaming up one last time to bring you the ultimate chill-out-before-you-burn-out bash! 🧠❌

📍 Outside – Summer Vibes Guaranteed
💰 First years: €2 | Everyone else: €4
🔥 The Main Attraction? A lifesize foosball table!
Yes, it’s just as chaotic, hilarious, and fun as it sounds. Even if you've never touched a foosball handle before — you’re gonna love it. 💪⚽
But wait, there’s more:
🌈 Twister in the grass
🏃♀ Flag football to settle old committee rivalries
🥏 Frisbee, because flying discs = good vibes
Whether you're playing hard or chilling harder, this is your chance to enjoy the sun, laugh with friends, and wrap up the year with a bang. 🥂☀

Let’s close the year with the energy it deserves. Come for the games, stay for the memories.
FYC Farewell Foosball — Let’s kick it one last time! 🚀💃
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 idea!
From Monday June 23rd until Friday evening July 4th you will be able to study in MF3.101, MF3.102, MF3.103!
Of course, this is awesome because:
Some of the rooms will be designated silence rooms and some will be for collaboration.
For the weeks before the exams you can use the following rooms:
Hope to see you there!
We know you all feel very close to the DOMMEL. It’s time to get closer! The B.O.O.M. + First years workgroup have arranged a beautiful kayaking activity which you can join. Some of you might remember being promised canoing and barbecue last year, where only barbecue was achieved. Funny enough this time the barbecue got cancelled, but we promise that you will get wet. 🛶
Once you have accepted the inevitable, we will be expecting you to come prepared with closed shoes and unimportant clothes on the 13th of June. We gather by the Werfgebouw, located by the bridge near Luna. There are two timeslots so that you can adjust to your schedule: 14.00-16:00 for the first time-slot and at 16.00-18:00 for the second, where you will kayak through the DOMMEL with your friends and our precious guides from OKAWA for 2 hours. Prepare to be wet and tired!
Subscribe fast, because there are only 40 spots. First come, first serve!
We will see you there!

Heb jij zin om je weekend door te brengen in de mooie natuur en niet bang om uitgedaagd te worden door avontuurlijke activiteiten, of misschien gewoon op zoek naar een plek om te genieten van een warm kampvuur de hele nacht door, of gewoon geïnteresseerd in beide? Twijfel dan niet langer en maak jezelf gereed voor B.O.O.M. Actief Weekend 2025!
Dit jaar, zullen we de Belgische ardenne bezoeken. Hier hebben wij wat avontuurlijke activiteiten voor jullie georganiseerd, op zowel de zaterdag als de zondag. We gaan nog niets verkappen, maar voorbeelden van vorige jaren zijn klimmen, mountainbiken, kanoën en een boomtoppenparkour.
Naast dit is er nog veel meer om van te genieten gedurende het weekend, je kunt bijvoorbeeld gaan “streamen” in de rivier (vraag B.O.O.M. leden om meer info) en in de avond zal er een kampvuur zijn om je warm te houden, en omdat we op een camping zitten zullen we in tenten slapen.
Je hoeft niet je eigen eten en drinken mee te nemen omdat dit allemaal inclusief is gedurende het weekend! Op vrijdag zul je de kans krijgen om Sako zijn beroemde pasta salade te proeven, en op zaterdag zullen we van een heerlijke BBQ genieten, en we zullen natuurlijk genoeg bier en fris regelen (en koffie voor de zware ochtenden).
Het weekend zal plaatsvinden van 6 tot 8 Juni 2025, als je wilt meegaan schrijf je dan hieronder in.
Omdat we genoeg autos nodig hebben om iedereen naar België te rijden, krijgen mensen met auto voorrang indien nodig. Als je een auto beschikbaar hebt, geef dat dan aan en zet erbij hoeveel plaatsen (inclusief jezelf) je hebt in de auto. We willen ook graag weten of je een tent hebt. We gaan geen groepjes maken maar het kan helpen om anderen een slaapplek te laten vinden :)
We hebben plek om 45 studenten mee te nemen op ons toffe weekend, dus schrijf je zo snel mogelijk in, first come first serve! Als er veel interesse is, kunnen we misschien opschalen, maar we kunnen nog niets beloven!
Met takken!
🎲 Enter... If You Dare. ♠️♥️♣️♦️
The underground and highly exclusive casino calls forth the four infamous gangs of the city — The Clubs, Spades, Hearts, and Diamonds. On Wednesday, June 4th at 8PM, you may find yourself set for life... or lose it all in one night at Miller Time.

So, you’ve found yourself in your house shying away from the stormy, cold weather outside, exaggerating your own anguish and thus amplifying it. The only thing you can do about it now, is to find some friends so you don’t have to suffer together. Sadly your friends are far away and you’ll have to walk all by yourself to get to them. What to do now?
Luckily we have the solution for you: walk together! You won’t be lonely this winter, as you’ll be going on the best weekend of the year, the GEDWAAL weekend! We will do a nice hike together through the beautiful landscapes of Beek.
After this nice refreshing jaunt, you’ll be able to take some time to reheat your innards for a while, after which you’ll be busy competing in a fabulous Saturday-night activity. Taking a well-deserved rest will charge us right back up for a spectacular activity on Sunday, which will lead us to the end of the weekend.
There is an option to bring your luggage with you while hiking, which will grant you a huge discount of €5!!!!! If there are too many people who want to put their luggage in the car, we will do a draw amongst the ones who are also able to hike with it.
We will be traveling to our location by train, and will be gathering at Eindhoven Centraal.
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 17 April, 2025 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.
Alleen voor eerstejaars studenten!
Deze dag wordt in het Engels gehouden.

Elk jaar kiest de introductiecommissie een thema voor de introductieweek, en dit jaar is dat niet anders. Natuurlijk hielden we ons thema geheim, zodat we het tijdens deze speciale borrel konden onthullen. Tijdens de borrel laten we een prachtige, prijswinnende video zien waarin we het gekozen thema verder toelichten.
En nu het deel waar jullie echt om geven: Nadat we het thema hebben onthuld, is er een GRATIS!!! fust bier om de aankondiging te vieren. Bovendien hebben we ook een borrelkaart met introductiethema, met 2 cocktails en 2 shotjes, en dat voor maar €4,50!!! (De kaart niet kopen is eigenlijk stelen van jezelf.)
Hoewel jullie allemaal al weten dat het thema Kerstmis is, hopen we toch dat jullie komen genieten van de borrel.
Met veel liefs, Intro25
Dear Gepeupel,
For the past few years, we have traditionally seen a themed cantus organized by the sjaarzen around this time of year. After all these iterations of themed cantussen, it is time once again for a traditional cantus, organized by the real specialists, without all the bells and whistles of themes and sjaarzen. A cantus as it was meant to be: a celebration of an age-old tradition, embraced by students from the Netherlands and Flanders alike. This tradition originated in monasteries, where people would dine while singing songs and enjoying splendid beers and wines. While dinner is no longer part of the modern student variant (also known as a beercantus), it remains a cozy evening where we joyfully sing songs and drink beers together.
Even though this is a traditional cantus, our association still has something to celebrate. From this day onward, GEWIS will have known more days with the existence of In Vino Veritas than without. This makes it a perfect occasion to celebrate the many years the association has been delighted by the presence of In Vino Veritas.
We hope to see you there!
Dear students,
Coming weeks the so-called Round Table Discussions will take place. Here students can give positive and negative feedback on courses that they follow while enjoying a FREE LUNCH! For every course a teacher will be present to respond to the feedback or ask questions themselves to the students present. That way we can improve the courses together!
For the multidisciplinary CBL, a combined round table discussion will be organized for both Mathematics and Computer Science Students.
What if I cannot make it to the Round Table Discussions but I do want to contribute?
That is unfortunate, hopefully you can join next time! For the time being, you can do the following. Either:
How to join
If you would like to join you can go to your Canvas information page > People > Groups and click on the group for CBL. If you are taking a course which is not part of your cohort (e.g. taking a first year course in your second year) you can still participate by sending an email!
Every year, the introduction committee needs intro parents to house all new students. In this form, you will be able to subscribe to the introduction week as a introduction parent with one of your friends!
The introduction week is from 18/08/2025 until 22/08/2025. This means that you HAVE to be available during those times. Next to that, there will also be a training day during the holidays where you need to be present. This day is on the Saturday before the intro week, so 16/08/2025. If you are currently studying, you can be an intro parent!
You don't need to be a GEWIS member. If you want to sign up with your wannabe co-parent, fill in the form below! In case that you want to become an intro parent but don't have a co-parent, do not hesitate to email us at intro@gewis.nl and we will help you find one!
If the maximum capacity is reached, a draw will take place.

NextGen Smart Meters – Intelligence and Security at the Edge of the Grid
The NextGen Smart Meters project is a major leap forward in preparing the Dutch electricity grid for a future of decentralized and electrified energy use. With the rapid growth of solar panels, electric vehicles, and heat pumps, the low-voltage grid is under increasing pressure. Managing these distributed energy flows requires smarter, real-time insights from deep within the grid.
To meet this challenge, millions of advanced smart meters—each with edge computing capabilities—are being deployed across the country. These meters are designed to do more than just measure consumption in the future; they actively monitor and analyze local grid conditions, helping operators better balance demand and supply on a neighborhood scale.
Infiniot plays a key role in enabling this transformation. Carlo and Joost ensure that the software running on and around these meters is thoroughly and continuously tested. At the same time, we implement robust security measures to safeguard sensitive data and protect this critical infrastructure from potential threats.
With our contribution, NextGen Smart Meters are not only smarter, but also more reliable and secure—paving the way for a flexible and resilient energy system fit for the future.
Please note that our primary focus is on the Dutch Energy market and therefore this lecture will be most relevant for Dutch students. However, all students are welcome and the lecture will be given in English.
Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory! There are 135 spots only with first come first serve and GEWIS members get priority. You can earn 1 my future activity with this lecture.
