What can you expect at the Ersti-Weekend? As the name suggests: Tips for starting your studies, a good number of your new fellow students and lots of games and parties in the evening! Some professors will also give short, exciting insights into their lives as computer scientists.

Transport

In order to guarantee a cozy atmosphere and so that we all definitely get to know each other, we will move into a house in beautiful Wildhaus SG, which we will travel to by train and bus.

  • Departure: Friday, September 20, 2024, Zurich HB at the meeting point at the big clock in the main hall at 1:45 p.m.
  • Return: Sunday, September 22, 2024. Arrival in Zurich around 4 p.m.
  • At the meeting point, make sure that you stand next to the people with the VIS flag (yellow spiral with the lettering "VIS"), because the AMIV and the VMP also travel to their ESW at the same time. And you definitely don't want to spend a weekend with them;)

What to bring with you

  • Meals are included in the trip. So you basically only have to take with you what you otherwise consider to be vital for a 48-hour weekend trip ... Note from the Organising Committee: Your laptop is not vital. Trust us! (Especially since we cannot accept liability for things that are lost.)
  • Otherwise you need a sleeping bag or fitted sheet, clothes, toiletries, a towel and slippers, as shoes are forbidden in the whole house. Make sure that at about 1,100 m above sea level maybe there are no more midsummer temperatures.

Sign up

If you've made it this far, you're on the right track. The costs including travel and meals are 55CHF.

  • Payment must be made by Wednesday, September 18th. otherwise the registration will be canceled and the next one on the waiting list looks forward to their chance.
  • You can either pay online or by cash by coming into the oVIS (E 31) in the CAB building and paying there.

The fine print

  • A reimbursement of the costs is excluded.
  • Insurance is the responsibility of the participants.
  • By participating, you agree that pictures can be taken of you and used for VIS-purposes.
  • All information provided may be subject to change.

And then all you really need is luck that not all places have already been taken. If you have any questions, just get in touch at esw@vis.ethz.ch.
