Webinar on KTH Opportunities Fund applications

Are you interrested in applying for a grant from KTH Opportunities Fund?

Supported by dedicated alumni and friends of KTH, Opportunities Fund offers scholarships to KTH students at both undergraduate and master's level, as well as to PhD-students. You can apply for a scholarship to fund projects, internships and research connected to your studies and we accept applications once a year. The application period for 2021 starts on March 15th and ends on April 25th. The final decision will be made by the end of May and the results published in the beginning of June. If you're interrested in applying for a grant from the fund, this is an opportunity to know more about how things work, what you can expect and ask questions regarding your application and the process of electing this year's candidates. We also hope to offer a short presentation by one of our former scholarship holders and give you some idea of how a typical project that has recieved support from the fund might look.

Get an insight into life after graduation – learn from alumni through our mentor program

The aim of the mentor program is to give you as a student inspiration for your future career. Your mentor will be a former student, i.e. an alumnus/alumna of KTH, with experiences and personal knowledge of how life after graduation can be. He/she may have a different educational background. Mentoring is about asking questions, listening, reflecting and discovering new perspectives. As a mentee in the program, you are expected to meet up with your mentor four times, of which two meetings are together with the other participants. The mentors and mentees will plan the other two meetings on their own. Please contact alumni@kth.se should you have any questions.

Register before 14 March 2021.

Hi all Chapter Members!

Due to the new Pandemic law and restrictions, the following decisions have been made by KTH and THS.

• New opening hours for META is between 8-22.
• New maximum capacity for META is 26 persons.
• The furniture arrangement will be adapted to this as soon as possible, please do not rearrange.
• The premise is open for study purposes only, not for Chapter activities.

There is also some updated information regarding Nymble and THS from THS President Charley:

Events:

• We will continue having no events in Nymble or Osqvik.
• The previous rule about administrators for crucial democratic meetings being allowed to book rooms in Nymble is no longer in effect.

Public areas in Nymble:

• Nymble, the Bookstore and the Restaurant will still be open, but with new updated safety information posted around the building and even stricter restrictions in the number of seats and tables in their respective areas.
• Only 4 people per table is allowed, and we ask that people do not move any furniture. If you happen to be in Nymble we ask that we all help out to remind people of these restrictions when necessary. For example, if you see a table with too many people, ask them to move apart.
• KårX will continue to be physically open only Monday-Wednesday, but will still be reachable by phone: 08-790 98 51 and by mail: karx@ths.kth.se during their regular office hours.
• THS Café is closed and the Restaurant will instead be open 9-15 for the foreseeable future. Lunch will still be served as usual in the restaurant, with some extension of its supply in order to offer what THS Café usually does.
• We will regularly evaluate the situation and the above is subject to change.

What do we know right now about KTH?

• KTH library will open again on January 25th.
• Study places are kept open as usual.

Take care of yourself and those around you <3

We are slowly approach christmas and dJulkalendern goes strong!

This year, over 200 hackers have chosen to take part in the Christmas calendar, which we think is really fun to see. But it is still not too late to participate in this fun and educational competition. 🥇

To give a little extra carrot 🥕 if you solve all windows before 2021 you can buy a cool patch. 🎆

You can then decorate your ovve with the patch and have it as proof that you are "bra på att data" (Good at data). 💻

Happy hunting dear solvers! 🦆🐤
