ComExA: TAB Talk: Sustainable Buildings

Date & time: Thursday 11th of June, 17:30

Sustainability is of great importance for all of us. But, what do we do about it? Faris Nizamic, a PhD student from our Faculty and a co-founder of the Sustainable Buildings startup, will tell us something about how he and his colleagues are making buildings smart and energy sustainable. In 2012, they won the RUG's GreenMindAward competition (€100,000 grant) to implement the Sustainable Bernoulliborg project (see full video or highlights). In this invited talk, Faris will tell us something about experiences on this project, their current startup activities, and try to answer all questions that you can come up with.

Announcements of the board

Looking for committee members!

Cover is looking for new committee members! Currently the SympoCee and the ExCee are waiting to be formed.
Do you want to organise a grand symposium for a large audience, find the most interesting keynote speakers and get to know new people?
Or would you like to organise a trip to a destination of your choice with a nice group? Previous ExCees went to Budapest, Stockholm and Moscow. Where will we go next? You may decide!
To give these committees plenty of time to organise their activity in a fun and relaxed manner, we want to fill these two committee before the summer. Because of this, the deadline for applying is Friday June 19th. This means you can also get to know the group over the summer already!
You can apply by sending a mail to intern@svcover.nl, in which you should specify which committee(s) you're interested in. That's all!

Joining committees will give you a great experience in a very fun way. So are you looking for a great time organising a big activity, and would like to get to know a group of people and make some new friends?

Don't hesitate to send a mail!
