On saturday (11/3) it's a workday in META which means that METAdorerna will be there to fix various things. If you want to come help you are very welcome, but please contact me first (preferable on the META-slack).

META will also be visited by a scaffold which will be there for us to work on the rig. It will be in META more or less all weekend and it is of the highest importance that it is left alone. It will be built on friday and may still be there on sunday.

For more information you can contact me on slack.

Hello chapter! On Friday there is a prylis-sale and we will be selling three new patches: Ser Is (See Ice), Achievement - Singer and NLG's new logo (only sold to NLG). As usual, we will be standing outside META during lunchtime.

You have the chance to represent KTH in the Student Council of the The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. The council consists of up to 20 students from universities all over Sweden and the Vice Chairman is currently a student from KTH, so of course we want a new student representative from us!

Information about the assignment

IVA's student council's task is to promote technical and economic sciences as well as the development of business. The academy conducts activities within, among other things, education, business, community development and climate change, where the Student Council actively contributes by adding an important student and doctoral student perspective among the members who are otherwise elected to IVA for life.

The Student Council also organizes its own activities within the framework of IVA and runs projects that deal with, among other things, climate issues, digitization and diversity. The members of the council come from universities spread all over Sweden, and form a link between IVA and the institutions of higher education. KTH usually pays for accommodation and travel to the Student Council meetings around the country.

Participation in the Student Council takes place for two years and therefore requires that you have at least two years left of your studies. You will officially take office from the autumn of 2023. On the council's website you can read more about the assignment and what merits the application: https://www.iva.se/en/About-IVA/student-council/.

Application Process

You apply for the assignment no later than March 13 by emailing utbildning@ths.kth.se with a CV and an introduction of yourself and why you are interested in the assignment. Later in the process you will be asked to provide more information. THS will receive your email, review the applicants and pass on applications to the principal, Anders Söderholm. He decides on who KTH nominates and gives that decision to the current Student Council, which finally elects new members.

It is worth noting that Swedish knowledge is a requirement to be a part of the Student Council.

Hello Chapter! The Study Board is looking for feedback on the fall courses in the first year of the Computer Science master. We're having a meeting with the leadership of the program soon, and would love to hear your opinions on the courses so we can improve the courses and the program.

We have created a google form which you can find here.

Hello Computer Science students! Do YOU want to partake in arranging pride events and a float for Stockholm Pride? 🌈In that case, recruitment is now open for Project Pride ✨🌱

The application form will close on the 8:th of February and interviews will be carried out continously!

Hi Chapter!

The Educational Office at the EECS school has tasked the Chapter Board to find out how the chapter feels about their availability and the flow of information before the next meeting.

It contains questions regarding appointment booking versus drop-in, whether you want digital alternatives to physical meetings and whether the programme web works well.

It would be appreciated if you could take a minute to answer this survey: dsekt.se/kansli-formular

Hello chapter!❤️

The studies have begun for period 3 and we now need master representatives as well as international student representatives who are dedicated to evaluating and improving the computer science program. Being a master/international student representative means that you represent your master/international student group, both at the Study Board's meetings (a half-hour lunch meeting every two weeks) and when we go to link meetings.

"What is a link meeting?", you are probably wondering. Link meetings are meetings that take place once per term, where the year representatives meet those responsible for the courses and the computer program as a whole. Where we have a huge chance to influence and improve our program!

Another important task for the representatives is to complain about courses, consume our fika budget and go to our Teambuildings!🤩

So, fill out the form and APPLY!

Hello everyone!

Here’s some important information from the board.

TL;DR:

The board is currently understaffed and it will be difficult for us to keep up with all the work. Please be well in advance with items you need help with.

The extra chapter meeting is on the 9th of February and a number of important items will be dealt with, including a major budget revision.

The chapter would like to have “frackband”. Send your suggestions to drek@datasektionen.se.

Few people on the board

The first thing is that at the time of writing we have four vacancies on the Board (Secretary, Vice treasurer, Board member for student social affairs and Board member forsStudent environment and equality).

This means that the board may have longer response times than usual and that we will not be able to focus on the issues normally dealt with by the vacant posts. Another consequence is that less will be done on other fronts as the rest of the board needs to take up the slack. So please be out in good time if you have matters that need to be dealt with.

Extra-SM

We will have an extra chapter meeting on the 9th of February where important motions and a major budget revision will be dealt with.

The motions that will be dealt with are

• Motion to review the acoustics of META
• Motion regarding CPR training for elected officials and chapter members
• Motion regarding the election process for members of the Union Council
• Motion regarding budget for Blums

Elections for many important positions will be held at the Extra-SM. In addition to the Board vacancies, elections will be held for several important positions,

• Programme responsible student
• Auditor
• Student Safety Officer
• Speaker.

As this is an extra chapter meeting, no other motions will be considered. Notice will be sent separately.

Frackband

During the Glögg-SM, “frackband” for the Section came up as another issue. There were various options presented during the Glögg-SM but none of the proposals were preferred by the CM.

“Frackband” are mainly used when representing the chapter in external contexts. Therefore, the design should be in accordance with our graphic profile.

Please send your suggestions to drek@datasektionen.se.

Hello Chapter!

Are you interested in attending exciting business events, finding summer jobs or a place to write your master’s thesis, or generally curious about work life?

In addition to getting to know the company and their offices, each event offers fun activities, tasty food and refreshing beverages! You can also upload your CV so that the companies whose events you attend more easily can contact you regarding summer jobs, master’s thesis opportunities, employment etc!

The registration is not binding and is open throughout the spring term, so what are you waiting for? Register now at https://dsekt.se/inhoppare ! (But the later you register the more events you risk missing ;) )
