The WebCie is aware of an issue relating to the calendar. It currently does not show many activities, so please check the activity list for all activities!

This year, our very own Marie Curie is organizing the annual interuniversity physics competition for physics students, hosted in Nijmegen! It will take place on Saturday, November 8th. Teams of four students will have to work together to win a ticket to the international physics competition (PLANCKS), which will be held in Eindhoven this year!

In addition to the competition itself, there will be a speaker and possibly dinner and drinks. You can register via the https://marie-curie.nl/list/411/. If you haven’t found a team of four yet, send us an email at pion@marie-curie.nl. Be quick, because registration closes on November 2nd! More information about location and times will follow.

With chess-like regards,

The current situation at the university has led us to do an exhaustive check of our system and we can conclude that our systems have not been compromised. Additionally, our systems are almost completely seperate from the university. By combining these two facts can we thus conclude that our systems and any data we might posses are still secure. If you have used the same password for your TU/e account and your VdWaals account then you could take a precationary measure by changing your VdWaals password.

If you now think “That is precisely what a hacked site would say!”, then firstly, congratulations on not trusting something blindly on the internet. Secondly, you can check with either a WebCie member or the board for confirmation of this message.
