Kvasir

Kvasir is the committee of Thor that organises events for Automotive and Electrical Engineering students in collaboration with companies. These events include excursions, workshops, lunch and pub lectures. The workshops focus on skills like writing your CV and how to present yourself to a company, but may also be of a more technical nature. The excursions and lectures show the job opportunities for students after graduation as well as possible internships, graduation projects and part-time jobs. 

As a member of Kvasir, you are tasked with the organisation of these events. You will make arrangements for the events as well as supervise the communication between Thor and the companies in question. Close contact with companies and the organisation of the events will lead to the development of skills such as planning, organising, communicating and presenting yourself.

TNO Excursion

 On Thursday the 13th of November, we have the unique opportunity to visit TNO. 

TNO is an independent research institute that connects science with industry to promote innovation in the Netherlands. Established in 1932, it conducts applied research to help companies, governments, and organizations address social and technological challenges. TNO’s work covers areas such as sustainable energy, digitalisation, health, defence, mobility, and the circular economy. Instead of focusing on academic research, TNO develops practical solutions that can be directly implemented, such as renewable energy technologies, cybersecurity systems, or smart manufacturing methods. Funded partly by the Dutch government and partly through collaborations with public and private partners, TNO strengthens the Netherlands’ innovation ecosystem and economic competitiveness. By translating scientific knowledge into practical applications, it supports the country’s transition toward a more sustainable, secure, and knowledge-based future. 

Important Info:
  • Since the TNO location is a high-security site, anyone with a non-Dutch nationality will need to complete and submit an additional document, the Visit Authorisation Request (VAR) form, at least five working days before the event. This will be provided to you closer to the event.
  • At the location, all students must individually register at the reception and store their phones and other electronic devices in a locker. 
  • This activity is worth 2 MyFuture Points
  • Since we are expected to arrive on time, we will leave from Flux at 11:30 at the latest. If you are not present then, and have not unsubscribed in time, you will be charged a fee of  €20,-.
