Alfabetfeest (Alphabet party) committee: The Alfabetfeest is a yearly party hosted by several study associations in Groningen. We are one of the associations that has a spot in the organizing committee. As a member of this committee you plan the entire event, from the location and theme to the music and price of drinks. (Deadline: Wed 21 Oct.)

SNiC symposium committee: SNiC is a yearly national Computing Science symposium. SNiC is still looking for a committee to organise next year’s symposium. The symposium is quite big; organizing it would be a good addition to your resume. Joining this committee gives you a unique opportunity to work with international speakers, a large budget, and the logistic side of organizing a national event. We are mainly looking for CS students, although AI students can apply as well. The committee will be formed for a whole year, starting in November.
