ASML is the biggest company in the Netherlands and an innovation leader in the semiconductor industry. They provide chipmakers with the hardware, software and services they need to mass produce microchips. They design and manufacture the lithography machines that are an essential part of chip manufacturing.

Mimir has been in contact with Jeroen van de Wijdeven, who finished his MSc and PhD in the control systems technology group of Maarten Steinbuch at the TU/e. For the last 17.5 years he has been working at ASML in different D&E and research projects, focusing mostly on mechatronics related challenges. He has invited us to the ASML experience center, where we will get to experience the world of ASML. We will get to see their technology up close, including real hardware and full-size 3D machine projections. The tour explains how their systems support chip manufacturing and offers an inside look at key technologies. Their aim is to have an informal tour with plenty of opportunity for questions.

Important:
– There is a maximum registration of 20 people per excursion day (Mimir members have priority).
– A passport or ID is required to be allowed into the experience center.

Due to the limited amount of spots per excursion day, we will send you an email to confirm your spot. Since ASML requires the details of the people attending the excursion beforehand, the registration will close at least two weeks before the excursion.

Since the event does not take place on the TU/e campus, you can either join us and travel there with us by bus or find your own mode of transportation. It is STRONGLY advised to NOT come by car since, parking is a challenge even for the employees themselves and might result a 15 minute walk to the reception of building 7. If you decide to join us in traveling to ASML, we will meet at the bus side of the station at 9 AM.

Do you want to get to know your fellow first year Thor members better? Do you love Thor and want to get to know the inner workings of organising Thor events? Do you want to show off your hobbies and/or interests through a fun activity? Then Ivaldi might be the committee for you!

Ivaldi is the first year activity committee of Thor where you and a small group get a small budget to organise a fun activity of your choice with the guidance of one of the Board members. It takes up very little time and is easy to combine with your studies. If this sounds interesting to you, come enjoy some free lunch and listen to a presentation where we will tell you more about the committee and some of the fun activities that have been organised in the past.

You can still show up even if you didn't subscribe. Subscribing helps us give an estimate of the amount of food we need to get. 
Subscribing to the interest lunch also doesn't mean you are subscribed to Ivaldi, so don't worry if you change your mind :) 

 Meet the four Master Associations of Electrical Engineering in an EE Master's Showdown! The four Associations have come together and made a pubquiz drink for all Master students to learn more about the different tracks, associations, future activities and meeting more Master's students.
