Royal Smit Excursion: The Construction of Power Transformers

Royal Smit manufactures power transformers. These can go up to 765 kV and hundreds of MVA. In addition, they produce reactors and phase-shifting transformers to maintain grid stability. 
They have been doing this in Nijmegen since 1913 and now operate worldwide. 
Do you want to see how these transformers, the size of small buildings, are designed, manufactured and tested? This is your chance!
On the 11th of September, we will visit their Nijmegen site for a factory tour.
As we are limited by personal protection measures (helmets and steel-tipped shoes), we have only 15 places for this trip, so be quick to sign up.
Note that master students will have priority if we have too many sign-ups. (You will be notified on the 7th of September).

This activity is exclusive to Waldur Members. You can register for it here: https://waldur.nl/event/royal-smit/

HyTeps Pub Quiz

HyTeps will be organising a pub quiz in het Walhalla. Come join us for a fun evening of power quality, EMC and grid facts while enjoying a free drink and some snacks.
Additionally, get the chance to talk to HyTeps experts on various topics and see their opportunities (also as a working student!).
Please sign up for this event if you plan to join; that way, we know how many snacks to get and ensure no food goes to waste.

MIMIR ASML Experience Center Tour 1 (07-10-2026)

👉 Mimir signup page: Link 👈

ASML is the biggest company in the Netherlands and an innovation leader in the semiconductor industry. They provide chipmakers with the hardware, software and services they need to mass produce microchips. They design and manufacture the lithography machines that are an essential part of chip manufacturing.

Mimir has been in contact with Jeroen van de Wijdeven, who finished his MSc and PhD in the control systems technology group of Maarten Steinbuch at the TU/e. For the last 17.5 years he has been working at ASML in different D&E and research projects, focusing mostly on mechatronics related challenges. He has invited us to the ASML experience center, where we will get to experience the world of ASML. We will get to see their technology up close, including real hardware and full-size 3D machine projections. The tour explains how their systems support chip manufacturing and offers an inside look at key technologies. Their aim is to have an informal tour with plenty of opportunity for questions.

Important:
– There is a maximum registration of 20 people per excursion day (Mimir members have priority).
– A passport or ID is required to be allowed into the experience center.

Due to the limited amount of spots per excursion day, we will send you an email to confirm your spot. Since ASML requires the details of the people attending the excursion beforehand, the registration will close at least two weeks before the excursion.

Since the event does not take place on the TU/e campus, you can either join us and travel there with us by bus or find your own mode of transportation. It is STRONGLY advised to NOT come by car since, parking is a challenge even for the employees themselves and might result a 15 minute walk to the reception of building 7. If you decide to join us in traveling to ASML, we will meet at the bus side of the station at 9 AM.
