Organizing the Study Tour Abroad (BuEx) gives you the opportunity to develop different skills. Whether you want to learn how to keep track of finances or if you want to learn how to contact businesses, the BuEx is the committee to do this! This trip has a good balance of culture, science and free-time to explore the beautiful (still undecided) destination. If you have any questions or if you are interested, you can contact me at l.pennekamp@student.tue.nl.
The Study Tour Abroad is looking for committee members!
From 10-14 July, the Quantum Gravity conference will take place in Nijmegen! Here, professors and doctors from all over the world will come together to talk and learn about Quantum Gravity. In this field, people try to describe gravity according to the principles of quantum mechanics with the aim of better understanding situations in which both gravity and quantum effects play a significant role, think black holes and neutron stars.
Two lectures have been specially tailored for students. On Tuesday July 11th, from 12:30 to 13:30 in HG00.304, professors from Japan en Germany will give a lecture for bachelor level students. On Wednesday July 12th, 12:30 to 13:30 in HG00.307, professors from Spain and Canada will give a lecture for master level physics students.

The Federation of Study Associations Eindhoven is looking for board members! FSE is the umbrella association of the study associations in Eindhoven, including Van der Waals. The FSE is in contact with the study associations and is concerned with topics such as the campus bars, student wellbeing, career orientation and education. The FSE also helps organising events such as MomenTUm and the Introduction week.
Interested in topics like these? Maybe a part-time board year at FSE is something for you! For more information, be sure to send an email to fse@tue.nl or walk by their office in Luna 1.244.
During the lunchbreak of Monday May 8, Noora Partamies will give a Studium Generale lecture on the Northern Lights in the Blue Hall in Auditorium. Noora explains how the Northern Lights occur, what they are, what their effects are, and why they are important to study. The atmospheres of the polar regions are constantly bombarded by energetic electrons, which cause the aurora borealis, and sometimes by more energetic protons from solar eruptions. Behind the scenes, these particles have much longer-lasting effects than just the emission of light. We think that this SG lecture could fit the interest of Physics students well! You can subscribe via the website of Studium Generale.
