Activities

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 17/08/2026  until 21/08/2026. 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 15/08/2026. 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.

Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈

This month we celebrate love, diversity, and the freedom to be exactly who you are. We're proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community, because every student, no matter who you are or who you love, belongs here.

Compass is organising a pride walk on the 13th of June in Eindhoven!

You can sign up to join them through the following link:

How the Port of Rotterdam Plans Smarter with AI

We dive into the story of how the largest port in Europe was still making planning decisions with post-its - and how we applied AI and optimization techniques to build a first working version within 12 weeks. We'll have an interactive technical deep dive into the methods we used.

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.

On the 2nd of July, we will host the inauguration drink for the 45th 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 drinks 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.

This is the date for the mandatory orde meeting. Here we will explain all the tasks and you can ask questions and buy a GEWIS tie or choker if you do not have one.

Dear members of GEWIS,

While some reserve a disdain for the certain piece of land situated a few hundred kilometres away from here, we are of the opinion that this hatred is rather incorrectly placed. ‘Love thy neighbour’, the saying goes, even if the neighbour somewhere far, far away from here. We speak here, of course, of France: the country of romance, breathtaking landscapes and a rich cultural heritage. The place to be for luxurious wines, hundreds of cheeses and obviously the Eiffel Tower. 

Vous êtes cordiallement invité à un month'like drink organized by In Vino Veritas and first-year(s). Join us in a soirée filled with spirited conversations and the fine art of French sophistication. We are delighted to welcome you on the 17th of June at dix-sept heures (or 17:00, if you insist). Set aside differences you might’ve had with them in the past. Happiness is the most important value in life; it is time to honour that by embracing the charm and good company. Choose from an exclusive selection of wine accompanied by various cheeses. We look forward to raising a toast with you.

Santé! Fraternity I.V.V and the first year(s)

Dr. Jing Zhao, from Deltares, will give a lunch lecture on 18th June, titled "Applying Mathematics to Real-World Challenges: My Work at Deltares". In this lunch lecture, she will (1) give a general introduction of Deltares, (2) talk about her work/projects at Deltares as an Applied Mathematician addressing real-life challenges, and (3) discuss opportunities for Master’s students, including internships and thesis projects at Deltares.

Below is more about her: She obtained her PhD in 2015, from the Numerical Analysis Group of the Department of Applied Mathematics at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Her PhD work focused on the development of fast numerical solvers for wheel–rail contact problems in the railway industry.  

In the same year, after completing her PhD, she joined Deltares as a scientific software engineer. Her work focused on the development of Deltares’ scientific software, in particular Delft3D Flexible Mesh, which incorporates advanced numerical solvers for hydrodynamic modelling in rivers, lakes, oceans, etc. The software is used worldwide by governmental organizations, consulting firms, universities, and research institutes. It is applied to address a wide range of water-related challenges, including flood risk assessment, coastal protection, sediment transport, and water quality management.

Since 2024, she has shifted toward Scientific Machine Learning (SciML), where she participates the research on developing AI models, e.g. Graph Neural Networks–based models, as emulators of traditional numerical models for fast storm surge forecasting. Alongside this, she contributes to the development of Delft-FEWS (Flood forecasting and Early Warning System), by working on the configuration and related AI innovations. 

Moreover, she serves as a guest researcher at TU Delft, where she maintains a close research collaboration on topics including scientific machine learning (SciML) and fast numerical solvers. Through the supervision of PhD, Master’s thesis, and internship projects, she actively contributes to bridging academic research and practical innovation.

On the 1st of July we switch boards. The 44th board will say goodbye to their boardyear, and hand over the keys of the palace to the new 45th board. We would love to do this in the bounds of our own home, 't Dakterras, surrounded by our friends and family. However, as the building closes at 22:00, we cannot. Therefore we propose to move this celebration to our second home, Hubble, still surrounded by our friends and family.

That is where you come in! We would like, and therefore we do, cordially invite you all to attend the Board Switch Activity at Hubble. We will organise some games to celebrate the great times we had past year, and, as is fit for a board of the most beautiful association that exists, celebrate the inauguration of our new board (Do note, this obviously does not take away from the Constitutional drink that will follow later).

We will start at 21:30, and together have some drinks and have some fun. You can also join later. Though the 44th board is still busy at that point, we also encourage you to already have a bite and a drink together before we commence the activity.

We hope to see you all there!

With kind regards, The 44th board♡

The obligatory infomeeting, at which everything about the order committee will be explained, takes place on Wednesday June 17th 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.
