SExCie Explores Ghent Even though the seminar of the SExCie was canceled, they still organized some nice excursions this year. They went to Amsterdam and Ghent. Their new chairman Bart will tell you all about it. Text: Bart Bronsgeest, Chairman SExCie
Hello everybody, my name is Bart and this year I had the privilege to be in the SExCie committee and chair of the weekend excursion. As most of you probably know, SExCie stands for Seminar and Excursion Committee. Every year, we organize a dayand weekend excursion, and a seminar.
“everyone had a fun and career-oriented day” This year the day excursion was a trip to Amsterdam, where we visited the two companies PWC and Sustainalytics. This was a great success, everyone had a fun and career-oriented day, even some of the sjaarzen. A couple months later, we took 40 people with us to the beautiful city of Ghent, Belgium. This city is famous for its beers, waffles, and medieval architecture. In Ghent, we visited two companies: Flanders Bio Based Valley & Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant and RoboVision. Both companies gave interesting presentations, and the first company even gave us a tour through their facility! After having 44
visited the companies, it was time for everyone to go to their hostel and have dinner. We ended the day with a fun pubcrawl, exploring the nightlife of Ghent. On the Saturday, we started the day off slowly with a relaxing boat tour, learning all sorts of interesting things about the city. When the boat tour ended, almost everyone (you know who you are) concluded the day by a city tour. All in all, the weekend excursion was a big success. However, for some people this weekend was a little rougher, because of the absolute warfare induced by the 2020 Ice Games® . This year, the seminar will sadly not take place due to the COVID-19 virus. But don’t be sad! We will definitely plan something fun and educational for next year. On behalf of the SExCie, much love and stay healthy!
