A symposium needs to be organized by somebody. Each year another committee organizes the Arago Symposium. The committee is appointed by the board of S.V. Arago. Below the members of the symposium committee 2023-2024 are shown.
Remon te Brake – Chairman
Hey there! My name is Remon te Brake and I am 21 years old. I am a third-year student in applied physics. I am the chairman of the Symposium Committee 2024 of S.V. Arago. Besides my chairman duties which are mainly organisational, I keep myself busy in my spare time playing football and road bowling.
Julia Halfwerk – Secretary
Hi! I am Julia Halfwerk, 19 years old, and I am in my second year of the bachelor Applied Physics. As the secretary, my tasks include communication with the participants and support with other tasks of the committee. Next to this, I like to spend my free time dancing, running and meeting up with friends. I am looking forward to the symposium and hope you will join us for the day!

Lucas Janssen – Commissioner of Speakers
Hey, my name is Lucas Janssen, a second-year student in the Bachelor of Applied Physics. I am the Commissioner of Speakers in the Arago Symposium Committee 2024. I keep myself busy with creating the speakers’ list for the symposium, communicating with potential speakers, and inviting them to speak at the symposium. This means that most of my work involves creating and sending emails to people :). The thing I like the most about being in the symposium committee is the opportunity to further my academic network and, of course, working together with my fellow committee members.
Gijs Frijters – Socials
Hey there! My name is Gijs Frijters and I am 18 years old. This is my first year studying physics here in Twente. In my spare time, I like to boulder in Enschede and join for improvisation theater at Pro Deo. As the person in charge of socials, I take care of our Instagram and LinkedIn accounts, manage this website and designed this year’s logo for example.
