Important info regarding dJubileets slutfest
Hello all computer scientists and alumni!
We can now share that the slutfest has a new date. The new date is October 14th. We apologize for any inconvenience that the date change may have caused and hope that you are still excited to come and celebrate the Data section's 40th anniversary properly! This is going to be amazing, so you don't want to miss it!
We can also reveal that the top-secret closing party location will be Nymble, so you alumni will have the pleasure of visiting our proud campus once again.
For more information regarding the slutfest, you can visit the Facebook event here: Link
As we want to avoid the problems that arose during the banquet, we will not release tickets via confetti. Instead, you will need to register via Google Forms. However, to avoid stress during ticket release, we will randomly select tickets among those who register within the first hour when tickets are released. This way, you don't have to be super quick with entering your information, and everyone will have a fair chance of getting a ticket.
We will earmark some of the tickets for different decades since we want representation from all the times our wonderful section has existed.
Specifically, we will earmark: 40 tickets for the 80s 40 tickets for the 90s 40 tickets for the 00s 40 tickets for D10-D17 80 tickets for D18-D22
If there are tickets left from these decades, we will release them to the general ticket pool. In total, we will release 300 tickets. Later this fall, we will release additional tickets to nØllan.
You can find the ticket release form here: Link
The form opens at 8:00 p.m. on April the 19th, and if you register in the form before 9:00 p.m., you will be included in the first round of ticket randomization. Anyone who registers after 9:00 p.m. will instead be placed on a waiting list.
We will carry out the randomization and send out an email no later than Sunday evening the same week, April 23rd. In that email, you will find out if you have received a ticket and how to proceed with payment.
The price for students will be SEK 230 for a non-alcoholic ticket and SEK 250 for a ticket with alcohol. Alumni will pay SEK 330 for a non-alcoholic ticket and SEK 350 for a ticket with alcohol.
We also want to remind everyone to sign up for the alumni mailing list and that the waiting list form for the banquet is now available. Mailing list Waiting list form
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@djubileet.se.
We're really looking forward to celebrating with all of you and hope you're as excited as we are!
See you at the closing party!

The EECS Educational Office's availability
Hello chapter!
This message is to inform about the EECS educational office's availability. This is follow up on the survey I did a while ago. The answers from the survey were presented at the last breakfast meeting and here are their answers:
- The office prefers that you book an appointment to talk about matters that they need to familiarize themselves with before the meeting for instance regarding exchange studies or study plan. Currently booking a time is done via e-mail, but there will eventually come a booking system to book slots instead.
- If you have a quick question it usually works great to just stop by their office (office room number can be seen via their KTH profile) if they are available and ask them directly. They usually leave their doors open when they are available.
You can find contact information to the educational office here
Best regards,
The D-directorate via, Abhinav Sasikumar Board Member for Educational Affairs

Poll on having a music artist at D-Dagen 2023's after-party
Hi everyone!
The project team for D-Dagen 2023 has been considering bringing a music artist to the after-party for this year's career fair. We wanted to see what the interest for this is within the chapter, and how much our members think is a reasonable amount to pay for a performance.
The alternatives in the form represent different levels of expensiveness for music artists. The higher the amount, the "better"/more popular artist we can get. In our preliminary calculations we have been working with a music artist price of 200 000 SEK, excluding ticket revenues.
You have to log in through Google to fill in the form, to avoid members filling in the form more than once. But all answers are completely anonymous and your email addresses are not recorded. All data will be handled in accordance with: https://styrdokument.datasektionen.se/informationshanteringspolicy.
If you have any questions regarding what kind of music artists you can get for the different price ranges in the form, you can ask any member of the project team. If you have any other questions or thoughts regarding the form you can contact ansvarig@ddagen.se.
Kind regards
The Project Team 2023

Apply to the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) Student Council
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.
