CALLING ALL FIRE NATION RECRUITS!

Grab your torches, put on your skinniest jeans, and prepare for hottest party of the year. Zuko the Last føten Bender has arrived!

kandi Drink

As the switch GMM approaches, the kandis are eager to reach the Board table. Oude Bokken, of course, do not like that the kandis want to reach the Board table at least not when unprepared. This is why they will try their absolute best to stop the kandis from reaching the table before they are deemed prepared. The kandis must convince these protectors of the Board table that they are worthy enough to sit at the table. It will be a spectacle! We, the kandis hope that we will be prepared, and we hope that you join us on our journey!

Mimir Excursion to Canon

 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.

ODIN Photonics Information Session

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.

GMM Discussion - Proposal Financial Results and Bookkeeper

On the 13th till the 15th of October, the 286th GMM will be held with the goal to discharge the Board 2024-2025. There have been issues regarding the result of the last two financial years (from the 67th Board 2023-2024 and the 68th Board 2024-2025), but to allow a switch to take place normally and give the upcoming Board a clean-slate, we have created a proposal in regards to these finances.

A document was sent out and attached to this activity with the outlined proposal. There will be a discussion moment held in Colloquium 6 on Wednesday the 17th of September from 12:30-13:30 to discuss the proposal as written in the document. To be clear, this is strictly regarding the result of the financial years, not discuss the discharge of the Boards. 

If you cannot attend the meeting but have comments, inquiries or suggestions, please send an email to secretary@thor.edu. Hope to see you there!
