New year new board! The 97th Board of E.T.S.V. Scintilla is taking over this academic year. I hope you’ve already seen them around, but if not, get to know them by reading their stories. If you want to know more, drop by the Scintilla room as they are always in for a little chat.

Last week it was that time of year again where our sister association from Eindhoven, e.t.s.v. Thor, had their constitution drink. Of course, no Thor constitution drink is complete without just a few too many drunk Scintilla members so we arranged some vans and some people to drive them and took off to the far away city of Eindhoven.

As the study tour started just before summer, this seems like a great moment to give a short introduction to the subcommittees and on how they are doing! In the article in the physical VONK, we were right in the middle of selecting participants and starting this whole journey. Now, a few months later, we have officially begun and the subcommittees have all written something about what they have been doing so far and what they will be doing in the coming months!

The EEMCS trip has been a staple in the bonding between the associations in our faculty (and Atlantis) for many years now. This year’s destination was Krakow, the former capital of Poland and, aside from Warsaw, the largest city in Poland. The trip was amazing, so this article will tell you a bit about the experiences, historic sights, nightlife and the food that this diverse city has to offer.

While we as Electrical Engineers know quite well what we do, this is often not as clear for others. To get some more insight into what others think we do, we asked an IDE student to describe Electronics.

Do you want to know what we as EE students do? Well of course you do! Last time I told you about the beautiful European Microwave Week, this time I’ll tell you about a different conference I got distracted at! This time it was with the Computer Science department at the ICT.OPEN 2026! This is a two day conference this time Hosted in the Doelen in Rotterdam.
