Every Saturday from 2 pm to 3 pm we have booked KTH Hallen for the rest of the semester. This week (Saturday 25th) we will play badminton. I will bring 8 rackets that you can borrow but we'll rent more if we don't have enough. We have four courts and we play for 1 hours.

OBS: No one has booked the courts after us so we can play for more than 1 hour 🙂

I will try to vary the sports in the following weeks. And please come with suggestions for what we can do!!!

Everyone is welcome! The primary goal is having fun, not to play super competitively.

All events are published in our sports group on Facebook.

Next Monday (20th May) the International Committee will be hosting an incredible 🌍 Study Abroad Pub 🌍 in META, starting at 17h17! Although there will be delicious food and drinks for everyone, those considering going abroad in the future will have an even better evening: 🌠

Organized in collaboration 🤝 with KTH's outgoing mobility office at EECS 🏛️ (who will be represented there), this pub is a unique opportunity 💎 to learn more about exchange studies 🔄 and life in other countries.

Whether you're looking for a more tropical destination ☀️🌴 or a healthy dose of culture shocks 🧧🐉, this is your chance to hang out with students who previously studied abroad, hear about their experiences ✨, ask questions ⁉️, and just mingle. You can also chat with an EECS International Coordinator about the process and how to apply 📝.

Finally, even if you're not sure if you want to go on exchange, you should come anyway - it's still a pub open to all! 🪩 We will be selling dinner 🍽️ and the bar will feature several special thematic drinks 🍹 (alcohol-free alternatives available). There might even be a limited amount of patches for sale from previous IN events...

See you on Monday! 😎

P.S.: If you're an International Student currently studying in Sweden, you're very welcome to come talk about your country! 🎌

It's time for Robinsonpub on Wednesday!! Come eat and have it cozy while DKM runs internal drama

On Tuesday it's time again! 🐸 Groda is holding an event with Tag Monkeys 🐒 where anyone can come and get help patching and mending torn clothes (and other things) 🤩 There will also be an opportunity to exchange clothes and of course fika 😋 and good company ❤️

So what are you waiting for 🐸 Come as you are and bring those really nice pants with holes in the crotch or the shirt with sleeves that are way too long, and we'll fix it together 👍

The event starts at 18:00 in META on 14/5

Hello Chapter!

Are you a chapter member currently in your fifth year of the program or second year of the master? Then you know as well as I do that all good things in this world must come to an end, and in this particular case it is yours and mine time on campus. Now that this end is approaching, it would certainly be nice to end it with a bang! 🎉 🎉

We are therefore a bunch of fifth-year students who are organising a graduation party where all students who are doing their fifth year at the computer engineering programme are welcome, regardless of whether you are graduating this year or are a little behind in your studies. Even those who are coming from the open programme or studying the second year of a computer science master's program are welcome to sign up for the party.

The gasque is scheduled for June 1st and will be in META. Registration can be found here: https://dsekt.se/d19-sittning. Do note that the event will be primarly in Swedish.

Any questions should be directed to Erik Nordlöf, enordlo@datasektionen.se.

Otherwise, we hope to see many familiar faces at the party, have a good time until then!

Hello dear chapter!

We have adjourned the DM until Monday 13/5 at 13:00. The new location is the Meeting Room in META.

The items that remain on the agenda are: 7.5, 8, 9 and 10.

All info (proper summons PDF, agenda, etc.) can be found on the link provided below.
