Are you interested in the photonics industry? Then we have something for you!  Photonics uses photons instead of electrons to transfer information. This can be used to create more  energy-efficient, faster, and more accurate microchips.

During this lunch lecture (free lunch provided) you will learn more about the possibilities for work and study in the field of photonics. Andre Fiore will give a short introduction and will talk about the new MasterPlus Optics&Photonics program. Furthermore, former students that work in the field of photonics will give some talks about their experiences. Representatives from the PhotonDelta ecosystem will also give pitches. The PhotonDelta ecosystem consists of more than 60 partners that together form the whole chain from the design to the application of photonic chips. 

 Join Mimir for a borrel in Het Walhalla! On the 18th of September, we will be having a drink to get to know each other. Though we call it a member drink, everyone is welcome. This is the perfect chance to socialise more with students interested in the field of AI & Engineering Systems. Come complain about your courses, talk about your vacation, or just meet some other students!

There is no registration, no checks and no reason not to come! 

During the summer the Overflow working group has been working on a plan to spend some of the money that was generated in Het Walhalla. During this information session we will go over the plan and explain our choices. But we also need your feedback to improve it and hear your opinions about what we have made. 

This year Thor will again organise the most amazing weekend of your study time! On the 19th, 20th, and 21st of September Thor will organise the first-year weekend full of fun activities. This is your chance to get to know all your fellow first-year students and the study association Thor! 

The weekend will start at our own local heaven, Het Walhalla, at 16:30 on Friday the 19th of September. That Friday you can drop off your baggage before 13:00 if you don't want to take it with you on the bike yourself. A packing list will follow later once you have subscribed.

This weekend will cost €35,00 euros. If you enrol, you are expected to show up for the weekend and pay the participation fee. If you end up not being able to come, you can send an email to thew@thor.edu before Tuesday the 16th of September at 12:00. If you unsubscribe before this deadline you don't have to pay the fee. You can pay with iDeal via the webform below, or in the Board room when the academic year has started. 

 Canon is a global leader in consumer and professional printing. High-volume printers that can reach up to 200 meter of printed paper per minute are undoubtedly high-tech systems. The Canon Production printing branch employs about 3100 people, of whom around 1900 work in Venlo.

During the excursion, we will see a demonstration of one of the machines, receive a presentation about a day in the life at Canon, and get a tour through the Research & Development department. Note that the target group for this is AI&ES students, thus the topics discussed will largely be AI-related. Finally, we will close the day off with a “borrel”.

It will start around 13:00 and end around 17:00, excluding travel time. A bus will be arranged from the TU/e campus. A more detailed timing will follow later, but including travel it will likely be from 11:45 – 18:15.

This excursion is free. Mimir members will get priority over non members. There is a maximum of 30 spots available on this excursion, additional registrations will be put on a waiting list. Cancelling after the deadline without valid reason will result in a 10 € penalty.

 Do you want to organize a super fun activity like a pub quiz, casino night, or the Open House Day? Are you a first-year interested in becoming active in Thor? Then you should come to the Ivaldi interest lunch! The Ivaldi committee is a first-year committee that organizes a wide variety of fun activities. It takes up very little time, so you can combine it with your studies  well. At the interest lunch you will learn more about the fun things you can do with this committee while you get free lunch! You can still show up even if you didn't subscribe. Subscribing helps us give an estimate of the amount of food we need to get. And subscribing to this lunch doesn't mean you are subscribed to Ivaldi :)
