After an exciting journey to South Korea, GEVAL is thrilled to announce our next adventure. This time we are going to the beautiful countries: America and Canada. This journey is going to be a full mix of academic and cultural exploration with visits to amazing universities and innovative companies aligned with the Mathematics & Computer Science Department. Our trip doesn’t stop at educational pursuits, we’re also set to discover the beautiful landmark sites and vibrant cities that America and Canada offer. To ensure everyone has all the information on the 22nd of April at MF 15 there will be a second interest lunch, with information about trip details, safety protocols, financial planning and participation criteria. This gathering is your opportunity to get all the answers to your questions and learn how you can be a part of this amazing journey. Whether you’re eager to learn more about the study trip, curious about the destinations or just want to listen, this meeting is for you. Note: Participants in the study trip must be enrolled in one of the Mathematics & Computer Science department programs at TU/e for the academic year 2024/2025 and have earned at least 60 ECTS at TU/e or any other recognized university by the time of registration for the study tour in April.
If you are graduating in the summer of 2025 you can ask the exam committee to delay your official graduation (according to the OER) such that you can still join the study trip.
If you are not able to attend the info meeting or have more questions, please mail geval@gewis.nl and we will provide you with the information needed.

Have you ever thought about how offline applications can make a fieldworker's life easier? De Mandemakers Group delivers 1000 kitchens every week thanks to 650 mobile employees. Our mechanics use the Field Service application to register the delivery and assembly of the kitchen(s). As you can imagine, this is an essential step in our customer journey. Our mobile applications support them during this journey, but often depend on a stable Internet connection. So how do you ensure that your employees can also work offline?
CIO Anjo will introduce you to the company and our business challenges. Pega developer Davy focuses on the use of Javascript possibilities to use the mobile application in an offline situation. This session will show you more about how we use Pega, case management, the interaction between server and client and the use of Javascript. Moreover, we would like to introduce you to the possibilities our Dutch company can offer for a career in Tech & IT.
By attending this lunch lecture, you will discover the symbiosis between low-code and Javascript and learn more about Pega; a cloud based low-code software platform.
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.

Even if you have been living under a rock, you must have noticed that Hèt Dispuut has already organized numerous activities this academic year. We kicked off the year strongly with the amusing opening of the academic year, providing a preview of all the grand events our fraternity would organize this year. This was followed by a fantastic lustwijn week, where each day was filled with enjoyable activities. Subsequently, we continued with a party together with ATHENA and GEPWNAGE and we welcomed back the members of the association after a long, cold Christmas break.
To up the ante, we even organized another Kitchen with I.V.V to make sure you could enjoy listening to I.V.V'ers speak from the comfort of your own home.
Although we as a fraternity never cease to organize the most prominent events, we also enjoy the simpler things in life. A glass of wine, with a tasty snack. No frills, just simple enjoyment. And as we noticed that there was an unused evening in April, it would be perfect for a nice, simple, Ordinary Maand'lijksche Borrel. That after this year of thrills and excitement, we can go back to drinking a nice wine at "Het Dakterras" once more.
So, dear reader, join us on the twenty-third of April at 17:00 as we return to "Het Dakterras" to enjoy plenty of wine and snacks.
Met hoogachtende groeten,
Dhr. Oosterholt
Praeses der "In Vino Veritas"

Are you also looking forward to better and sunnier weather in coming spring? What better way to start off spring by running the most fun relay race of them all, the Batavierenrace! In the weekend of the 24th till the 26th of May, we from GEWIS will once again travel to Nijmegen to run together a distance of 175km to Enschede, divided into 25 parts, running during the night, in the morning and in the afternoon.
Like last year, we are running with two teams, so make sure to subscribe soon to not only run with us but enjoy the biggest student party in Europe on Saturday! If there are not enough subscriptions we will join with one team. In case of too many subscriptions, there will be a draw. We will sleep in our own tents on the campus of Twente University and every time a new team will go to their starting point to take over the responsibility of the prior team to run GEWIS to the finish. Hopefully, you're looking forward to this relay race just as much as we do (or even more of course)!
With sportive regards, GESPORT.

This year, we will visit the Nonceveux in the Belgian Ardennes. Here we have arranged some great activities for you, both on the Saturday and Sunday. We won’t spoil them yet, but examples from previous years are climbing, traversing a trail between treetops and canoeing. Next to this, there is more to enjoy during the weekend, you can “stream” in the river at the campsite (ask B.O.O.M. members for details) and in the evening there will be a campfire to keep you warm. Since we are on a campsite, we will sleep in cozy tents.
You don’t have to bring/buy your own food or drinks as this is all inclusive during the weekend! On Friday you have the opportunity to taste Sako’s famous pasta salad, and on Saterday you can enjoy a nice BBQ. Next to that, we will arrange a sufficient supply of beers and soda (and coffee for the tough mornings, don’t worry).
The weekend will take place from 7th till 9th of June 2024. If you want to join please subscribe below. As we need enough cars to drive everyone to Belgium, people with a car available wil be given priority if necessary. If you have a car available, please indicate this and mention how many places (including yourself) you have in the car. We would also like to know if you have a tent and how many people could fit in it. We will not make tent groups but this might give other people some help in asking around to find a place to sleep :)
We are planning on taking 50 persons to our awesome weekend, so subscribe as soon as possible! When there is a lot of interest, we may be able to scale up, but we cannot promise anything yet!
Met takken!
