Due to corona our lovely symposium “Waves” has had some hiccups. But of course we as a committee decided not to give up, thus introducing:
Symposium 2.omikron!!!
We will organize a hand full of lunchlectures for you to enjoy during the lecture free week. You can subscribe to each of them individually.

This lecture is about energy from waves. Professor doctor Antonis Vakis is an associate professor at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen at the department of ‘Science and Engineering’. Within his expertise of renewable energy he has worked on a novel renewable energy harvesting storage technology. This research has led to the invention of Ocean Grazer . This initiative uses a pumped hydro system to store energy in a so called Ocean Battery.

During his lecture, mister Vakis will elaborate on the role of water and waves in energy storage in order to solve the worlds energy problem.

We also have some goodies, so if you want this delivered to your home you can let us know by filling in your adress below.

Have you always wanted to become a LaTeX master, but do you not know where to start? Then this LaTeX beginners training is something for you! LaTeX is a very useful program to write scientific reports, like for example for Experimental Physics 3 and your BEP. The training will start at beginners level such that everyone can improve their LaTeX skills. Overleaf will be used as the compiler and will be thoroughly explained to you. The training will be on the 19^th of January starting on 9.00 and will be free of charge. If this sounds interesting, make sure to subscribe!

The no-show policy applies to this activity.

Symposium 2.omikron!!!
We will organize a hand full of lunchlectures for you to enjoy during the lecture free week. You can subscribe to each of them individually.

This lecture is by Prof. Dr. Rembert Duine, he is currently a full professor at Utrecht University and part-time professor at the TU/e in the group Physics of Nanostructures. His research mostly focuses on spintronics.

In this lecture Rembert Duine will talk about black holes on a chip. The talk will discuss attempts on simulating blackholes through a technique using waves on running water. From this he will dive into the subject of magnetism and spin waves.

Every quartile Van der Waals organizes a general assembly (GA) in which members get an update about how the association is doing. Besides that, during the GA committees present their ideas and progress. To get familiar with the setting of a GA, we organize an introduction GA, especially for first years. This GA will start on 12:30. Afterwards, there will be a Borrel unless the corona measures do not allow it. This Borrel will continue until about 19:00. So, make sure to subscribe to this activity if you want to know how things work at Van der Waals!

Unfortunately the Symposium will have to take place differently this year. Therefore we will now have four different lectures from our program distributed over 3 days, so you can use it as a study break! One these lectures is The Evolving Animal Orchestra:

What is musicality and where did it originate? From dancing cockatoo Snowball to the apparent musical songs of singing birds. Music cognition researcher prof. Henkjan Honing takes you on his quest to discover if humans share the trait of musicality with other animals.

This lecture is organised in collaboration with Studium Generale and therefore will earn you a use point.
