The culinary world knows no bounds, wherever you go in the world there are local cuisines to be experienced and unique meals to be had. However, if you look too far into the deepest corners of the world you might find more than you have bargained for… And this is what the adventurers of SKItilla might just be responsible for. Whenever they settle down somewhere in the high peaks of Europe they put together a peculiar meal in order to piss off the nearby Italians: risotto with smoked sausage. ...

Four years ago, on a fateful October day, a delegation of Scintillianen set foot in Eindhoven to bring a visit to our sister association: e.t.s.v. Thor. After a long bus trip, they attended the constitution drink to congratulate the newly constituted board of Thor, share some drinks with the Thor members and enjoy a meal with the pedellen.

It has been quite a while since the last datasheet, a series of articles in which several cooking enthusiasts of the Vonk editorial team share their latest culinary findings to the public.

They could contribute in any form they are motivated for.

Currently Scintilla has around 30 active committees which show their faces regularly around the association. ...

For EE, one of these perks is Scintilla, the Electrical Engineering student association. As a new student this year (or a returning second-year), you get the chance to become an active member of the association and join one of Scintilla’s many committees - but what does that even mean? ...

Each and every year, Scintilla celebrates their anniversary (AKA the Dies Natalis) on the 9th of September, or on any convenient Friday around that day. Usually accompanied by a tasty piece of cake, members come together in the old faithful Abscint to share a beer and celebrate the birthday of their study association. However, in 2020 the Dies Natalis was a little different, in more ways than one. This year Scintilla celebrates their 55th birthday, which means that this year we celebrate the 11th Lustrum year. ...
