W.S.G. Isaac Newton

On the 12th of December, a new edition of the yearly symposium will take place at the University of Twente, this time organized by both W.S.G. Isaac Newton and S.G. Daedalus! A symposium is an educational day full of lectures and cases provided by interesting companies, this time all related to the theme of the energy transition, with the title "Power Up! - Energize the Future". Lots of information can be found on the Symposium website!

This day is organized as an addition to the education program, as well as being the biggest career event organized by the study associations. Therefore, Bachelor ME years 1 and 2 have no compulsory courses that day to make sure that everyone can join this day! The exact day program can be found on the website, but here is a small summary of what the symposium brings you:

• Coffee & tea upon entrance and several breaks during the day
• A filled goodie bag with lots of goodies from both the companies as well as the symposium itself
• Interesting lectures by Principia, Enexis, TCPM, Chargehyve, Dynteq, and Linthorst that show you all the technical details of the different perspectives on the energy transition
• A case study by HoSt on combining hydrogen with biomass
• Company market with even more companies, lots of student teams and several university instances, including a photo booth to take a professional picture for your CV or LinkedIn
• Luxury lunch by Appèl to enjoy while walking over de company market
• Speech and Q&A with the mayor of Enschede, Roelof Bleker to ask all questions about the role Enschede plays in becoming more sustainable
• A closing drink with plenty of free beverages

All this is heavily sponsored by the participating companies, which makes it so that your own contribution is only 5 euros. You can get your ticket on this page! If you want to work on the case instead of two other lectures in the afternoon, make sure to get the free additional case ticket with this link as well! Everyone is welcome at this event, so feel free to invite any other friends or family who would like to know more about this very topical talking point, being sustainable and the energy transition to the future.
