With the start of a new academic year the study association Kraket has a new board. The board now consists of only four persons instead of five in the past years. The academic year has started very well for Kraket, with a lot of new members and a successful introduction period. Our first activities were a success too. In September we organized both a kart and a pool tournament. A month later the National Econometricians Football Tournament took place, which was successfully hosted by our colleagues of the VSAE.
In the upcoming months we have planned a bowling tournament with our fellow students of the VSAE and Saint Nicholas will visit to Kraket. Last but not least we organize a study trip. In January a group of seventeen of our best students will go to New York and Atlanta to visit universities and companies.

For the VSAE as well the new study year has started. In August we began this year with the introduction of our new freshman to the VSAE and the university. More than a hundred new econometricians-to-be have started their study at the University of Amsterdam this year. Perhaps not all of them will become Master of Science, but hopefully lots of them do.
In October we organized the National Econometricians Football Tournament. Approximately 200 students in econometrics gathered in Amsterdam to find out who had the best team. After a long day of hard work, a team from Tilburg beat a team from our own university in the final. They celebrated this victory in the centre of Amsterdam until the last train home departed.
In November a group of 50 VSAE-members will visit Prague for five days. After Milan and Copenhagen in the past two years, we hope that this trip will turn out equally successful! The “Actuariaatcongres” – a congress on actuarial sciences – is scheduled for the 17th of December. The central theme of the congress is ‘The Transparency of Insurance Products’ and it will be held at the Okura Hotel in Amsterdam.
Agenda
11 November Monthly free drink
20 – 25 November Short Journey Abroad
17 December Congress on Actuarial Sciences: The Transparency of Insurance Products
