Welcome (Back)! Placed on 25 September 2026

We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing summer holiday and that the first few weeks of the new academic year have gone well. Whether you are just starting your studies or returning for another year, we are excited to welcome everyone back!

With the start of the new academic year also comes a new board. We are happy to announce that the 59th board has officially been charged on the 1st of September and that we are looking forward to taking on our responsibilities and leading the association throughout the coming year.

The 59th board was charged as follows:

Fleur ter Braak – Chairwoman
Pepijn Schreurs – Secretary and Officer External Affairs
Lenka Troiakova – Treasurer
Tycho Borm – Officer Internal Affairs
Robert-Jan Nijhuis – Officer Educational Affairs
Eyal Castiel – General Adjunct

As a board, we are looking forward to working together to make this another great year for the association. We hope to organise many fun, educational and engaging activities and, most importantly, create a year in which everyone feels welcome and involved.

We would also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the 58th board for all their hard work, dedication and commitment over the past year. We are grateful for everything they have done and for the foundation they have left for us to build upon.

We are excited for the year ahead and hope to see many of you in the Abacus room and at our activities.

Welcome back, and see you soon!

Board 59
Fifty-nine, prime time!

Thank you for the year & Have a nice summer holiday! ☀️ Placed on 6 July 2026

Now that a lot of you did have their last exams, the board wants to wish you all a very pleasant and well deserved summer holiday the coming weeks. At the same time, we want to thank you for the past year, either for being active or hanging around the Abacus room once in a while! Our year would not have been this great without you, and we can look back on a beautiful year.

Due to the holidays, the Abacus room will not be open anymore every day from 8:30 until 16:30. For some people the summer holidays did already start, although for others maybe not yet. Therefore there still might be some AirCo members opening the room now and then, but this is no guarantee. 

Furthermore, next week, from the 13th until the 20th of July the Abacus room is fully closed due to the renovations of Educafé. The Abacus room is fully open again from Monday the 31st of August.

We hope to see you again during the Kick-In (camp)!
