Editorial 38.2

Wait... What? A second I/O Vivat in such a short timeframe? Yes, indeed that is correct. With the full support of the Inter-Actief and ENIAC boards a new chapter in the history of the I/O Vivat is started.

First of all, let us say many thanks to the previous I/O Vivat committee and especially to the previous Chief Editor and Executive Editor who have been at the helm for many years. Also thanks for your support these last few months, especially in understanding the layouting part of the I/O Vivat and your efforts in finishing I/O Vivat 38.1, which has been lying on the shelf for too long.

That being said, we decided to try our best as Chief Editors of the I/O Vivat after receiving many messages inquiring about the dwindling number of publications of the I/O Vivat over many years. These positive questions really made us believe in the power of the I/O Vivat to reach a diverse public, ranging from new students that just started last year, up to former students that have been in the field for 40 years.

To achieve this, it is our (very ambitious) intention to publish the I/O Vivat four times a year once again. Clear and structured deadlines, following the calendar of the University of Twente, have been set for those delivering content to the I/O Vivat and we are going to include more columns from life at Inter-Actief as well.
However, to reach our ambitious goals we need your help in getting enough content. You can help in the following ways:

  • Do you have an interesting company that would like to reach 1900 students and alumni? Reach out to extern@inter-actief.net for inquiring about the collaboration possibilities with the I/O Vivat (company visits, semi-scientific publications, advertisements and more is all possible).
  • Would you like to write an article about an interesting project, research, publication or anything else? Please reach out to iovivat@inter-actief.net.
    We thank you for you reading the I/O Vivat!
