Dear members of GEWIS,

In the Netherlands we suffer from a problem. We are among the countries with the least number of holidays. Logically, this problem conflicts with the interests of Hèt Dispuut "In Vino Veritas". So please join us in a little history lesson so you too can start working towards celebrating the number of holidays a Burgundian deserves.

1641 years ago, a Roman-Britain was born in what is now what is now known as Great Britain. That boy was kidnapped by Irish raiders and sold as a slave. However, he escaped and converted the pagan Irish to Christianity. He is now known as St. Patrick and is a national symbol of Ireland.  The holiday that celebrates him is the world's excuse to dress green, drink Guinness and overestimate their Irish roots. However, back in the fifth century, Guinness didn't exist yet.  What did exist however, was shepherd's pie and whiskey. According to legend, it was St. Patrick himself that introduced Ireland to whiskey distillation. 

To honor this, Hèt Dispuut is organizing a beautiful Month'like drink to wane yourself in those old times and celebrate this holiday that you deserve. Of course, there will also be wine, because as you may know, wine predates even the Republic of Ireland itself, and no good holiday should go without it. So learn from history and join us in celebrating this holiday in style.

Met gepaste hoogachting, Dhr. Deen and Feut Willem

Hello fellow students,   Do you like to puzzle with numbers and challenge yourself? Or do you like to win? Then take part in the W4 Kangaroo competition.

On the 25 March we are organising the W4 Kangaroo maths competition, the Dutch version of the worldwide Mathematical Kangaroo. In this test you will get 30 maths questions of increasing difficulty, that everyone (including Computer Science students) can have a fun time with.

The competition lasts 75 minutes and no calculators are allowed. All you need is a pencil and your brain. By subscribing we will know how many versions we need to print. Please note that the exam can be taken in both Dutch and English.

For an example of the questions you can expect, click here.

Ever wondered how large organisations manage data about buildings, roads, and other assets over decades? In practice, that information is often scattered across tools, documents, and inconsistent data models. That’s where Linked Data and the Semantic Web come in. In this lecture, we’ll explore data-centric ways of working, the core ideas behind Linked Data, and hands-on examples of how to model, link, and query asset information in the built environment (and beyond)!

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.

Heb jij ook altijd al willen drinken op de borrel en een goed geweten kunnen hebben? Dan presenteert de BAC de perfecte borrel voor jou, de goede doelen borrel.

We zullen drinken om aan twee goeden doelen te doneren. Welke twee goede doelen dit zijn, kan jij helpen bepalen. Dit kan je doen door de form hieronder in te vullen.

Er zullen meerdere manieren zijn om te doneren aan het goede doel. Zo zullen er een paar gratis fusten zijn, waarbij je alsnog je biertjes kan afkopen als donatie.

Daarnaast zullen we een loting en een veiling houden met gedoneerde spullen van GEWIS leden en de BAC. Daarnaast kan je zelf ook nog leuke spullen doneren, deze kan je ook opgeven in de forms.

Als laatste kan je jezelf opgeven voor bepaalde acties die jij zal uitvoeren bij een bepaald gedoneerd bedrag. Denk hieraan, bij een totaal van 5 euro vouw ik 1 bak. Bij een totaal van 10 euro twee bakken, etc. Ook dit kan je aangeven in de forms.

We hopen dat jullie er al net zoveel zin in hebben als wij, en hopelijk kunnen we veel geld ophalen doormiddel van drinken.

Het is de volgende form: https://gew.is/charity

Heb jij altijd al álle bierspelletjes willen leren van de echte kenners? Altijd al willen ervaren hoe het is om zonder moeite een vers drankje in je handen gedrukt te krijgen zodra je glas leeg is? Dan is de oud-BAC borrel dé gelegenheid waar je bij moet zijn.

Eens per jaar verruilen de oud-leden van de BAC hun plek aan de andere kant van de bar om zelf weer te shinen achter de tap. Dit is hét moment waarop zij hun jarenlange ervaring en doorgewinterde borrelkennis met trots delen met de nieuwe generatie. Ze laten zien hoe het écht moet, en vooral: hoe het er 'vreuger' aan toe ging.

Of je nu komt voor de nostalgie, de gezelligheid of simpelweg om je drinktechnieken naar een hoger niveau te tillen—de oud-BAC borrel biedt voor ieder wat wils. Verwacht een avond vol gelach, verhalen uit de oude doos, spontane spelletjes en natuurlijk: nooit een leeg glas.

Zorg dus dat je erbij bent op 17 april, want dit wil je écht niet missen. Tot dan!

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 🩷🩵

Yarrr!!

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.

De wereld staat in de fik, boodschappen zijn duurder dan je studiepunten en het Nederlandse weer heeft ook geen idee meer welk seizoen het is.

Daarom doen wij het gewoon zelf: één avond, vier seizoenen. En waarschijnlijk ook vier stadia van dronkenschap.

Want Dispuut B.O.O.M. bestaat 20 jaar en dat laten we natuurlijk niet stilletjes voorbijgaan. De laatste week van mei staat volledig in het teken van het 4e Lustrum, met als knallende afsluiter op vrijdag 29 mei: het Lustrum Gala.

Een gala? Binnen? Nee natuurlijk niet! Trek je laarzen maar uit de kast want speciaal voor alle buitenliefhebbers hebben we een prachtige buitenlocatie weten te regelen.  

Heb je geen laarzen? Schrijf je dan in op de interesselijst voor LIMITED EDITION B.O.O.M.-proof laarzen. Over de exacte prijs nemen we later nog contact met je op.

Het thema is 4 seizoenen, dus verwacht frisse outfits, zweten op de dansvloer, drankjes (of jezelf) die hard vallen en eindigen in een soort winterslaap.

Wil je liever samen in plaats van alleen genieten van een feestelijk bandje, fanstische DJ's en veel drank? In GEWIS kun je groen briefpapier vinden om je favoriete persoon mee te vragen. 

Iedereen is welkom, ook niet GEWIS-leden. Zij kunnen zich zelf inschrijven maar je kan ook aangeven dat jij voor diegene betaald, dan is dat niet nodig.

De kosten: eerstejaars: €27,50 |  reguliere studenten: €30,- |  niet-studenten: €37,- | Late inschrijving: +€2,50

Dus, kom genieten van de 4 seizoenen (waarschijnlijk vooral herfst) tijdens het gala op laarzen!
