At the Eindhoven office of UiPath, we are mainly focusing on the Process Mining product. However, Process Mining is only one of the products in the broader suite. Other products focus, for example, on robots that automate tasks or help you process documents with AI. Process Mining projects are usually using data from source systems, but recently we have worked on a project that is using our own data. We combine data from the source systems with data generated by using UiPath automations. In this lunch lecture, Celine Verhoef will walk you through the process from design to implementation.

There is a lot you can do in half a minute. You could crACk some mACadamia nuts, fACt check your friends, or play a round of 30 Seconds! The latter is the most fun of course, so we decided to turn 30 Seconds an ACtivity.

For the people who don't know 30 seconds, here's a quick explanation. You play in teams (or subscribe alone to be paired up with a random other player). When it's your team's turn, one teammate gets a card with 5 words (or names, phrases etc). That teammate gets 30 seconds to describe these words to their team. They are not allowed to use the words themselves, parts of them (words like 'and' and 'the' are fine), or translations. 'Sounds like' hints are not allowed either. Your team earns a step forward on the board for every guessed word. There is a die as well that reduces the steps forward by 0, 1, or 2 steps. The goal of the game is to reach the finish line first. We will play in English with self-made cards. As we will still need to something to play on, we kindly ask you if you would be willing to bring your (Dutch) 30 Seconds board game.

If you're the type of person who enjoys playing a fun game with GEWIS friends (and maybe make some new ones in the process), you do not want to miss this! If you enjoy tasty snACks, we will provide those as well.

It is also possible to join us for dinner at 17.45h in the GEWIS room. We will order Fuso Wok. You can add your "Wok"-dish to the "Eating List" sign-up on this ACtivity before the 15th of October at 13:42. You can pay using a debit/credit card.

See you there!

Hugs,

the AC

During this lunch lecture, Arno and Pebble will give a presentation about the mathematical consulting work that is done at Sioux Mathware. After a general introduction of the company, two projects will be presented: Arno will discuss work that we did to optimize garbage collection in Amsterdam. Although this may sound simple on first glance, many factors can be considered, such as the time at which Ajax plays their matches, making this a very interesting optimization problem. 

After that, Pebble will talk about the internship that she is currently doing at Mathware. She has looked into using generative machine learning to create realistic X-ray images from simulated data. As this is a project in the medical domain, it is very important to make sure that no relevant information is altered that could lead to a misdiagnosis. Additionally, she can tell you all about what doing an internship at Sioux Mathware looks like.

POV: Je bent een eerstejaars student en je hele introgroepje bestond uit internationals. Je hebt de hele week geen woord Nederlands kunnen spreken. Gelukkig zijn die tijden nu voorbij.

Tijdens deze geweldige avond kan je iedereen laten zien hoe wij hier in Nederland echt feesten. Verkleed je zo Nederlands mogelijk en Iaat je beste danskunsten zien.

Je krijgt een heerlijk welkomst shotje voorgeschoteld bij binnenkomst, en zorg dat dit tijdig gebeurt want de eerste 100 bier is gratis!

Geniet van de muziek en feest met al je vrienden (die je natuurlijk allemaal een ticket moet laten kopen)!

Koop je ticket bij een ODC lid!

P.S. Je hoeft geen sjaars te zijn om te komen, de rest willen we ook best binnenlaten

P.P.S. Dit is sarcasme, er wordt niet alleen maar Nederlandse muziek gedraaid. Het thema is stiekem international. We moeten wel een beetje lief blijven naar alle internationals.

P.P.P.S. Op deze international party moeten we natuurlijk wel Nederland vertegenwoordigen. Verkleed je vooral Nederlands.

Hello GEWIS members!

The time has finally come: to finish Défi's spectacular first lustrum week, we have put  all of our enthusiasm and time into organizing our first external GEWIS weekend, dedicated to our lustrum.

We wouldn't be Défi if we made subscribing to our weekend somewhat out of your comfort zone, which is why we are keeping the location a secret, as well as the activities that are planned for the weekend. Are you willing to take that risk with us?

For GEWIS members the weekend will cost 55 euros. For graduates this price is doubled, leading to 110 euros. What you will get for this, is the following. Of course, a two-nights-stay at a beautiful location is included. On Friday evening, we will have a buffet at the location. Both on Saturday and Sunday morning, there will be breakfast provided by the location. Furthermore, we have two activities organized for you throughout the weekend.

Note that we will go to the location using public transportation. We accounted for this on the budget, so don't be afraid that you will need to pay more if you don't have a weekend-free subscription.

If this sounds like music in your ears, don't hesitate to subscribe, since we would love to take you on our exciting first lustrum weekend!

With mystical regards,

Défi

There is a limited capacity of 23 spots for this weekend. It is in principle a first come first serve activity. If more than 23 people are subscribed on Sunday August 4th at 23:59, a draw will be done between the people who are subscribed at that point.

Dear members, Mark your calendars, because Thursday, October 9th is a night you do not want to miss! We are coming together to celebrate our first lustrum in style, and what better way to do it than with a cosmic twist? Get ready for an unforgettable evening, with our Défi Destiny Dies Drink

As the stars align, we’re excited to welcome a fortune teller who will be gazing into the future to reveal what the universe has in store. Rumor has it, his/her/their readings may suggest a sky full of shots in our near future—so keep your eyes on the horizon!

But that’s not all. To help you cool down from the heat of the celebration, we’ll have some refreshing slush puppies on hand to quench your thirst and make sure everyone stays comfortably chill throughout the night.

Whether you’re coming for the fun, the fortune-telling, or just a taste of stellar drinks, this evening promises to be out of this world!

Love and hugs Défi

We hope you have been enjoying the Défi lustrum week so far and that you are not too hungover from yesterdays cantus! 🍻

To help you start the day and prepare your stomach for our upcoming borrel this afternoon we provide you with a very yummy hangover breakfast (or brunch, depends who’s asking)!

Ofcourse, we would not be Défi if this brunch was not a bit outside the box so don't expect the classic hangover breakfast sandwiches 🥪. However, this brunch will be just as good or maybe even better! Did we already mention it's free? Even more reason to join us! 💜

Subscription is not mandatory, but helps us get an estimate of how many people will join the breakfast. If a lot of people walk in without subscribing, people with a subscription will get preference.

We have a vegetarian option 🌱, but we can unfortunately not take into account other food preferences. Hope to see you there :)

Hugs, Defi

The day has finally arrived, the day we've all been waiting for... Défi turns 5 years old today! Naturally, this day has to be celebrated big, and what is a better celebration than singing songs together on our birthday? As a 5-year-old, Défi loves to dress up for a masquerade cantus, which you can join us for on this beautiful, yet mystical Wednesday, October 9th. Knowing Défi, this cantus will not be like other cantusses you've joined in the past, and one change in that is the type of drink: aside from the regular beer, you can also join this cantus while drinking paardenkut (a mix of Apfelkorn and sparkling water)! It has to be noted, though, that there is no possibility to switch between beer and paardenkut during the cantus. Of course, you can also join this cantus with a water ticket.

To obtain a ticket, make sure to approach a Défi member or the board, and we'll see you at our masquerade cantus on the 9th of October!

With mystical regards, Dispuut Défi

P.S.: The cantus itself starts at 19 o'clock, but the doors open at 18:45. Be on time, otherwise the praesidium is not happy...

Note: There are 70 tickets available for this activity. When it's sold out, it's sold out. You can get a ticket from another person if they decide to cancel, but mention that to a Défi member so they can change the name on the subscription list.

Remark: In the costs, b/pk stands for beer/paardenkut, and w stands for water.

On this afternoon, the Défi lustrum week will officially start! And the bravest among us will join Défi on an abseiling adventure of Vertigo! This is the chance to challenge our natural fear of heights, and to see the campus from a whole new perspective. While that sounds exciting, we understand it can be scary to step out of your comfort zone. But you don’t have to worry, because once you have successfully completed the abseil, Défi, Wolfpack and the BAC will welcome you back on the ground with a nice cold drink in your hand. We will gather all the victors and celebrate their succes at this victory borrel.

There is also good news for those who were unable to participate in the abseiling activity. The victory borrel is open for all GEWIS members so that we can celebrate the succes stories together. At the start of the borrel, you can even watch the last group making their way down Vertigo. Meanwhile, Wolfpack will make sure that there are some nice beers and sodas while cheering the last group on (rumour has it that they bought a keg for you all).

So whether you want to celebrate our lustrum, your abseiling succes or if you want to cheer the victors on from a distance, we hope to see you at the borrel!

(Do note that you can not drink alcohol before you go abseiling!! If you do, you are no longer allowed to go abseiling.)

Dear member,

Picture this: you, standing at the top of one of the tallest buildings on campus, heart racing, as you prepare to descend into the thrill of a lifetime. Five years ago, Défi organized abseiling from Vertigo, which was the final step for Défi to become a fraternity.

Soon, Défi will turn five years old. To kick off our Lustrum week, we are going to abseil from Vertigo again in collaboration with the Eindhoven Student Alpine Club (ESAC) and Wolfpack!  

But the excitement doesn’t end when your feet touch the ground! Once you’ve successfully made your descent, you’ll be welcomed back with a well-earned borrel. Gather with fellow adventurers, share your stories of triumph, and toast to an unforgettable day. Rumour has it that Wolfpack has bought a keg for you all.  

Note that there are only 90 spots available, so be quick to subscribe! If there are more subscriptions before Thursday, September 26, 23:59, there will be a draw. You can indicate whether you prefer the morning or afternoon, based on which we will get a timeslot assigned. However, please keep this date as open as possible in your schedule.  

Curious what this will look like? Read and see what it looked like five years ago!

Ahoy! ⛵

Zet koers naar een groots avontuur op de serene wateren van Loosdrecht, waar de wind ons zal leiden en de zeilen onze vleugels zullen zijn. Stap aan boord van de vertrouwde polyvalk, een stevig schip geschikt voor zowel ervaren zeilers als enthousiaste nieuwkomers. Met plek voor vijf opvarenden per boot is er genoeg ruimte voor iedereen, of je nu aan het roer wilt staan of gewoon wilt ontspannen en genieten van de dag.

Met meerdere ervaren zeilers aan boord ben je gedurende de hele tocht in goede handen. Of je nu een doorgewinterde zeiler bent of compleet nieuw op het water, geen zorgen—wij begeleiden je bij elke stap. Je hebt de vrijheid om actief mee te doen of juist lekker achterover te leunen. Als het weer ons gunstig gezind is, kun je een verfrissende duik in het meer nemen of gewoon genieten van de tocht vanuit de comfortabele boot. En geen zorgen—als zwemmen niets voor jou is, kun je droog blijven en toch volop genieten van het avontuur!

Rond lunchtijd zetten we koers naar een charmant eiland voor een welverdiende pauze. Stel je voor: je stapt aan land, de zon straalt, omringd door de rust van de natuur. We ontspannen, delen verhalen en genieten van elkaars gezelschap terwijl we de prachtige omgeving en onze lunch in ons opnemen.

Er is geen eerdere zeilervaring nodig om mee te doen—het draait allemaal om plezier maken op het water, ongeacht je vaardigheidsniveau. Dus verzamel je vrienden, breng je gevoel voor avontuur mee en bereid je voor op een onvergetelijke dag!

We regelen het vervoer en als we genoeg auto's bij elkaar krijgen, rijden we samen naar Loosdrecht. Anders nemen we het openbaar vervoer en maken we van de reis zelf een deel van het avontuur.

Rustige wind en kalme zeeën liggen in het vooruitzicht. Beantwoord jij de oproep?

Zie je daar! 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

Note: There is a maximum capacity of 60 participants, and the subscriptions are first come first serve, so subscribe soon!

Data in the Built Environment – Why nothing has changed in 2000 years

Have you ever wondered why every building project goes over budget and does not meet its original planning? Or why that annoying pothole in front of your home never gets fixed? I (Sander de Meij, from BIM-Connected) suggest that’s because the Built Environment has not really changed that much since the first time we started making buildings thousands of years ago.

Part of this issue is the incredibly inefficient way the Built Environment implements data, digital tools and other ‘smart’ solutions. We at BIM-Connected help this industry to move into the future by implementing intelligent data solutions using Linked Data and the Semantic Web.

Do you want to learn more about Linked Data in general (or specifically within the Built Environment) or how we have built an exciting piece of software which allows us to build data-driven applications in minutes? Join us during this lunch lecture to discuss what it means to be a ‘knowledge engineer’ or a dedicated software engineer within the Built Environment.

Hey first-years!

Today, on this fateful day, a most wonderful event will occur: the new First Year Committees will be formed! Last week, on Thursday, I organised a nice information meeting in which I explained what FYCs are, and let several FYCs from last year share their experiences. If you missed it and would still like to know more about FYCs, you can almost always find me in GEWIS, and I'm always up for a quick chat about them!

If I'd have to summarise the concept of an FYC really quickly, I'd do it as follows: It's essentially a group of first-years, with the main goal of getting to know each other and having a lot of fun. It also offers the opportunity to, as a group, get to know GEWIS a bit better, go to fun activities, and making friends that will stay with you for the rest of your studies.

During this meeting, you'll form groups that will afterwards become our new FYCs, and get some time to brainstorm a name for your group, as well as other fun ideas that you might want to do throughout the year. I hope to see you all there!

If you would like to join this meeting but are unable to, or decide later that you would still like to join an FYC, please contact me!

Do you love tea, cakes or fun games? Do you want different tea flavours than the ones at GEWIS? If so, on Tuesday the 24th of September from 18.00 to 21.00 your dreams will come true! We have just the activity for you: ATHENA's High Tea Tuesday. We will provide you with tea bags and some fresh ingredients you need to make your own perfect blend. And don't worry, we will also provide multiple black tea flavours.  Not a tea lover? No problem! You can get your favourite drinks yourself at your own cost from the bar and still join in on the fun and snacks.

I hear you thinking, how much will this all cost? Well, it is totally free, the only thing you need to do is bake or bring snacks to share with the group. So you can bring along a sweet or savoury snack like brownies or mini sandwiches. In addition, ATHENA will also bake two amazing cakes for everyone to try!

Warm hugs,

ATHENA🦉🩵🩷

Hey first-years!

During the introduction week you might have heard someone (probably Jens) talk about First Year Committees (FYCs). These committees are mainly meant for first-year students to connect with each other and provide an easy way for you to get to know the association a bit better.

Aside from the social aspects of FYCs, they also allow you to learn a lot of new skills, like organising activities, leading meetings, taking minutes, and many others. Don't be worried about the workload though, as FYCs have no real obligations; the main goal of them is to help you enjoy your year, so you can put as much time as you feel like you have into them.

During this meeting, I'll give you a brief explanation on how FYCs work, and some FYCs from last year will also join to share experiences from their committees.  There will also be free lunch for everyone attending! I hope to see you there.

NOTE: Attending this meeting is without obligations! You can always choose not to join an FYC afterwards.

Flunkyball is een spel waar twee teams tegen elkaar spelen. Je staat met je team aan een kant van het veld naast elkaar, met ieder een blik drinken voor je. In het midden van het veld staat een fles. Om de beurt mogen beide teams proberen de fles om te gooien met een bal. Als de fles omgegooid is mag het hele team beginnen met drinken totdat de tegenstanders de fles weer recht hebben gezet, de bal AChter hun lijn is en alle spelers weer bij hun blik staan. Het team dat als eerst alle blikken heeft leeggedronken is de winnaar.

Dus, wil jij bewijzen dat je de beste bent in adten, dat je goed kan mikken of heb je gewoon zin om Flunkyball te spelen? Meld je dan nu aan! Je kunt meedoen met halve liter blikken bier (6% alcohol), radler (3% alcohol) of met frisdrank. 

Het idee is om 4 teams te maken. Dan kunnen de winnaars van de eerste wedstrijd de winnaarsfinale spelen, en kunnen de verliezers ook nog een extra potje spelen. De 5 euro contributie is om 6 blikken te kopen. Dit zou genoeg moeten zijn voor de twee wedstrijden als je niet te veel strafblikken krijgt. Mochten er aan het einde van het spel nog blikken over zijn is er ruimte voor wat extra potjes na de competitie.

Er is geen eetlijst voor de ACtiviteit maar de AC gaat om 18:00 bij Hizmet een kapsalon naar binnen werken om daarna de ACtiviteit klaar te zetten. Dus voel je vooral vrij om daar mee te eten :)

Tot dan! knuffels, AC

Waarde leden der s.v. GEWIS,

De viering van academia is een traditie die zich uit de oude tijd stamt. Ook deze universiteit doet jaarlijks mee aan deze vrolijke vieringen. Echter, terwijl het feestvierende publiek zich verzamelt in de Blauwe Zaal, kiest Hèt Dispuut voor een viering met een meer intieme en traditionele sfeer, waar de ware academische geest kan bloeien.

Hèt Dispuut "In Vino Veritas" nodigt de leden van de vereniging van harte uit om samen de start van een nieuw academisch jaar te vieren. Dit jaar zullen er Amusekaarten worden verkocht, waarop een selectie van verfijnde Nederlandse versnaperingen prijkt.

Op 2 september vanaf 17:00 uur verwelkomt Hèt Dispuut u voor een avond van gezelligheid en goede smaak. Naast de heerlijke amuses zal Hèt Dispuut u voorzien van (mousserende) wijn en andere versnaperingen, om goede gesprekken te stimuleren die met een kritische blik kijken naar de dagelijkse gang van zaken.

Ter ere van deze gelegenheid verzoeken wij u vriendelijk om gepaste kleding te dragen.

Proost! Quaestor B. Henkemans der Dispuut "In Vino Veritas"

Going to pick up your laptop? Make sure to also pick up the books you ordered from GEWIS! 

We will hand out the books from 12 o'clock onwards. To ease the wait between the laptop and book pickup, we will provide some free lunch, and games for you to play. So meet up with all the nice people you met during the introduction week and reminisce about how fun the week has been and look forward together to the start of the academic year. 

When you pick up your book, you will also get a voucher for a free soda or beer. You can only use them at the social drink that afternoon, which starts at 16:30. So make sure to hang around!

You can find us outside on the field between Metaforum and Atlas, next to the pond. 

If the weather turns out badly, we will move inside to the GEWIS room

Heb jij zin in de zomer, man?

De BAC heeft zin in de zomer, man! En hoe kun je nou beter van de zomer genieten dan met een strand? Nou, door niet helemaal naar Best te hoeven fietsen! Voor ons is zelfs de IJzeren Man te ver lopen. Nee, voor deze ultieme zomerervaring hoef je niet eens de campus te verlaten!

Maar weet je wat het probleem is met de meeste stranden? Zand! We houden niet van zand. Het is grof en ruw en vervelend, en het komt overal terecht. Echter, het hele strandhangen is wel weer top.

Zie je het al voor je: strandstoelen, cocktails, bier waarvoor je niet 8 euro betaalt, Desperados, muziek en meer. Daarom presenteert de BAC de perfecte oplossing voor iedereen die echt van de zomer wil genieten: de "Strand zonder Zand" Borrel.

Zie jij jezelf al in een strandstoel met een ijskoude Desperados of een cocktail genieten van Playa del Atlas op zijn mooist! Kom dan vooral op 15 augustus met je zonnebril naar het beste Strand zonder Zand.

Next week is the interim exam period. 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 Wednesday August 7th until Friday evening August 16th you will be able to study in MF3.103, and MF3.105! Of course, this is awesome because:

Tea and coffee are seconds awayYou can use our books to study (ask the board before borrowing please)You can work together with your friends and ask advice from those who have already mastered the courses you are currently working on!

One of the rooms will be a designated silence room, and one will be for collaboration.

Hope to see you there and good luck with your exams!

Beste GEWIS'ers,

De zomer is inmiddels al een tijdje bezig, en jullie zijn je misschien aan het afvragen waar ons jaarlijkse "Spel met Ballen" blijft. Maar maak je geen zorgen, want de tijd is gekomen om weer met ballen te gooien, onder het genot van een mooi glas wijn.

Dit jaar organiseert "In Vino Veritas" een nog grandiozere "Spel met Ballen"; dit keer is het evenement gecombineerd met een activiteit waar we bekend om staan, de Maand'lijksche borrel. Dat betekent dat terwijl we op het veld met ballen aan het gooien zijn, we weer de hoge-kwaliteitswijn mogen drinken en de prachtige hapjes mogen eten die normaal op de Maand'lijksche borrel geserveerd worden. 

Je kunt je samen met een partner inschrijven om mee te doen met het officiële "Spel met Ballen"-toernooi, en tegen andere teams te strijden om kans te maken op de felbegeerde beker. Wees wel alert, de inschrijflijst sluit de zondag voor de activiteit.

Mocht je nu geen zin hebben om mee te doen aan het spel, dan mag je natuurlijk ook gewoon naar het veld te komen om te genieten van de borrel.

We hopen je te zien op het veld, 

Dispuut "In Vino Veritas"

Beste borrelaars,

Ongeveer een maand geleden heeft de BAC fantastisch achter de bar gestaan bij de BorrelXL. Hier heeft men kunnen genieten van heerlijk bier, viper, fris maar ook wijn. Helaas is er niet zoveel genoten van het laatste en dus heeft de BAC een overvloed van wijn (na ook een foutje van de inkoper).

Nu zijn wij geen I.V.V en willen we alleen een overvloed van bier hebben. Daarom hebben we besloten om het voor een promotie prijs van €5,00 per fles te verkopen. Je kan hiervoor naar een BAC'er te lopen en vragen of ze een paar flessen voor je willen pakken.

Alvast bedankt!

Groetjes,

Sven Mokveld, inkoper der BAr Commissie s.v GEWIS

Op 28 juni start een nieuw volledig online editie van Wie is de Mol en we willen een kleine competitie organiseren om te kijken wie het beste is in het vinden van de Mol. 

Iedere week nadat de afleveringen online komen (2 per week op vrijdagen) zullen we een korte vragenlijst sturen met vragen over de Mol en je hebt tot de volgende week om deze vragen te beantwoorden.

Na slechts een paar weken komen we er op 19 juli achter wie de Mol was en dat is wanneer we onze winnaar ook bekend zullen maken.

Wie is de Mol is een Nederlandstalig programma, maar Engelstalige ondertitels verschijnen meestal snel online. Dus als je iemand kent die mee wilt doen maar nog niet goed genoeg Nederlands spreekt dan zou dat nog steeds mogelijk moeten zijn.

De afleveringen kunnen gratis bekeken worden op npo.nl/start en meer informatie over het seizoen zoals de aankondiging en voorstelvideos van de kandidaten zijn te vinden op: https://wieisdemol.avrotros.nl/nieuws-item/onbekende-nederlanders-op-zoek-naar-de-mol-in-oman/

On the 4th of July, we will host the inauguration drink for the 43rd 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 Wednesday 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.
