Applications for dOsq 2024
Hiiii everyone!
This year's reception is getting closer and closer. But we won't be able to do everything by ourselves. We need YOU 🫵😮 as dOsq for Mottagningen 2024!
What does a dOsq do? It's quite simple really, you help us out with a little bit of everything. It ranges from being an extra "actor" during events, hyping up nØllan during their Lunchrave or holding a pre-party with some other dOsq. You can also come with your own ideas on how you could helpl 🤯.
Think this sounds fun? Sign up ✍️ in the form: dsekt.se/dosq
Saturday Sports: Harry Potter (variation on dodgeball)
Hello hello!
Every Saturday from 2 pm to 3 pm we have booked KTH Hallen for the rest of the semester. The idea is that we do some activity/sport for an hour. Everyone is welcome! The primary goal is having fun, not to play super competitively.
This week (Saturday 18th) we will play Harry Potter (it's a variation on dodgeball) for 1 hour.
I will try to vary the sports in the following weeks. And please come with suggestions for what we can do!!!
All events are published in our sports group on Facebook.
Hope to see you there 🙂
Delayed SM day-order
Hello chapter!
Unfortunately, events have not necessarily developed in an advantageous way. Because of this, the day-order has, sadly, arrived a whole forty minutes late. Additionally, report forms for functionaries were never sent out.
I write this purely in the interest of being as transparent as possible in how the minutes are handled. Write me if you have any questions about this!
You can find the delayed day-orders here
All the best, Christofer, secretary
Audit report to Budget-SM for financial year 2023

🌍 Study Abroad Pub 🌍
Curious about exploring new horizons? 🛫
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! 🎌

Baking for SM
It's time for SM again in the section but the hungry computer scientists can't sit through an entire SM without something yummy to snack on! So that's why we in the baking committee have to provide them with whale-themed goodies (ask a swedish speaker if you wonder where all the whales are coming from 🐳) to save SM! 🤩
This time we will be baking in the kitchen in Nymble on Wednesday 15/5 at 17:00 until we are done. Everyone is invited even if you never baked before😁
Repair and exchange clothes in META
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 👍

Graduation party for final year students
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!

🎤🎵 Eurovision Final - Watch Party 📺🎉
This Saturday (11/5), the long-awaited Grand Final for the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) 🎤🎵 will take place in Malmö 🇸🇪 and be broadcast 📡 to the whole world - including our beloved Chapter Hall, META! Naturally, this means that the International Committee 🌍 and the Equality Committee ️️️⚖️ will be hosting a grand watch party in META! 📺🎉
Join us for the grand finale at 20:30 with loads of free snacks! 🍪🍿 We'll be watching the performances, debating which songs are the best, and picking our own META Winner 🥇🏆 (which, let's be honest, is a much more prestigious honor than any the "official" jury could possibly give).
See you on Saturday! 😎 What will become the best song in the world??
