Information on registration
No study tour is yet planned for next year due to the association's Lustrum anniversary celebrations. Keep an eye on the page and other media for the following year, as it is likely that the next major study trip will take place in the summer holidays of 2027. Besides, as every year, the ETV does organise a smaller study trip, the Electrip. Keep an eye on the news on the website and WhatsApp for this! Finally, below you will be able to find the trip reports of the recent past major study tours. You will also find at the bottom of the page the requirements and other information for participants of the past study tour, use this as a guideline as to what will apply on the next major study trip.
Travel reports

Extra Information from Study Tour 2024
From the end of July till the beginning of August, we will travel for two weeks to Texas (Houston, Dallas, Austin) and San Francisco (Bay Area, Silicon Valley) with 23 members of the Electrotechnische Vereeniging. The goal of the study tour is to visit several major high-tech companies, research institutes, and technical universities to show the participants the ‘spectrum’ of current possibilities, and challenges in the field of electrical engineering. In addition to this, there will also be cultural and tourist activities, in which the participants have a say too!
Some logistic information about the trip:
- We will depart after the bachelor resits, and return before the EOW starts, specifically: from the 29th of July till the 12th of August 2024.
- All participants ought to perform a case study at a company. This can be compared to doing a short internship of 120 hours with a company, for which the financial compensation goes to financing the trip. Moreover, it's a perfect opportunity to explore the real world applications of your studies!
- Thanks to the case studies, the remaining participation fee for the trip is only around 700 euros*. * This is including 3 dinners, but excluding the rest of the eateries due to the freedom in leisure time during the trip. The expectation, however, is that lunch will be oftentimes provided by a company.
- You should have at least 60 ECTS from the 1st year and at least 60 combined ECTS from the 2nd and 3rd year of your Bachelor's degree. An exception for this can be made if explained in your motivational letter.
