New term! New chances!

Dear members,

Exams are over! At least for almost everyone at this point. I hope it all went great for you. If not, I included some extra jokes this week to heighten your mood. Enjoy, and have some last nice relaxing days before the new term starts!

Coen van Leeuwen is coming to talk about their research on a new algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs), called CoCoA. These are problems where a set of distributed agents have to co-operate in order to reach a common goal. He talks about this and more in the upcoming Company Talk from TNO on Monday 15:00. If you are interested or want to learn more about it click here.

The TAD+ for this month is a pub quiz! You will group up with 2 or 3 other people and write down answers to questions from different categories. The winning team will get a prize! There will, as always, also be free snacks and drinks (until supplies last). Get more information on the website.

BEST are looking for a small group of people to help cover their InnoEnergy conference. They require a photographer, two writers for their website and Facebook account, and a person incharge of PR to help document InnoEnergy which is happening on November 16th. Unlike normal committees, this is only a two day commitment. Deadline is 10th November. Please email education@svcover.nl or board@bestgroningen.eu if you are interested.

All the best,

Max

Data science Meet & Greet: Do you ever wonder what tasks and projects you will be doing in daily practice after finishing your Data Science study? Are you curious how a working day of a data scientist looks like? What’s it like to work for a large organisation as a data scientist? What do they expect from you? How will the atmosphere will be within the team and the organization? With which programs will I work? What are the projects I will be involved with as a data scientist? On Wednesday the 21st all your questions will be answered! Data scientists working at 13 large organizations will share with you how they apply data science in daily practice. Afterwards during the networking reception you can ask all the questions you have. Check out the link here for more information.

We want you to be in a committee!

Here is a cool thingy for our new members: Ever heard of a committee? A committee is a group of friends that work towards a common goal. You can learn about all sorts of topics such as budgeting, planning, sponsoring, and much more! See the website for a complete overview of committees that are looking for members! If you want to apply for a committee please email intern@svcover.nl. A resume or motivation is optional, so feel free to just tell him you are interested!


ParenTee

The ParenTee is the committee responsible for showing the studies and university to students' parents. They do this by organising a parents day where you can invite your parents to take a tour. If you want to show your parents or your peers parents around, sign up for this committee.


PubliciTee

The PubliciTee is the committee that designs, create and prints posters for Cover. They assure the quality of the Cover's posters, so that committees are able to focus on other tasks, without having to worry about posters.


Sympocee

Is there a topic of which you could never tire? You would like to hear about different experts from the field for a whole afternoon? Then organising a symposium is right up your alley! The SympoCee organises a symposium every year for this very purpose, to educate Cover members on a wider range of topics.


YearbookCee

The YearbookCee is very much self explanatory. They create the yearbook for every academic year. In this committee you get to decide the theme, design and create the content of the yearbook. You want a way to make your mark in Cover for years to come? The best place to do this is in the Yearbook.
