On the 1st of June Demcon will give a lunch lecture. Demcon is a high-tech company that is working on solutions for social challenges in many different sectors. Examples of sectors Demcon is active are aerospace, agriculture & food, life sciences, high tech systems & materials and many more. Their goal is to develop, manufacture and supply high-quality technology and innovative product to solve challenging technical and social issues.

For a company that aims to capture CO₂ directly out of the air, Demcon has developed a concept of an industrial-scale machine that applies their process as efficiently as possible. Cost price and energy use per captured ton of CO₂ were major drivers for the design. Demcon had to make elaborate estimations on these, but also make high-impact decisions such as what shape it should be, and what grid connections they could use, early in the process. See this recent news article.

At this lunch lecture, free lunch will be provided. The subscription policy applies to this activity. Subscriptions are open until Tuesday, May 3oth.

In the lecture-free week of Q4, the Parents Day will take place! During this day, first-year students can take their parents, siblings and/or grandparents to Eindhoven University to see what it’s like to study Applied Physics. You can finally show your parents what the university is like, and what ’Applied Physics’ actually is. The day will include activities such as a physics lecture from Reinoud Lavrijsen himself, as well as a physics quiz with spectacular experiments, a tour around the campus and a Borrel in the ’Salon’ and the roof terrace!

The Parents Day will take place from approximately 9:00 until 17:30 and will cost 4 euros per person, but you can of course just let your parents pay the contribution 😉 – be sure to subscribe!
