S.A. Astatine is the study association for Advanced Technology and Nanotechnology students, and co-association of Robotics at the University of Twente. We are an international, non-profit association that support the students (and staff) of Advanced Technology, Nanotechnology and Robotics in providing a community, creating opportunities for personal development, and evaluating the curriculum.  This is done by the means of a combination of both educational and extracurricular activities.

Have a look around!

Our New CCP

We are proud to announce that we now have a second Confidential Contact Person (CCP) at Astatine, Lieke Hendriks! She is trained in peer listening and will not share anything you tell her in confidence. Lieke can support you if you are struggling with something, big or small. Be that through advice, support in finding a solution or by presenting a listening ear.

Hi everybody!
My name is Lieke. I am 22 years old and currently in my third year of Advanced Technology. In my free time, I love doing sports and reading. Additionally, I often get together with my friends. They describe me as energetic, positive, compassionate and a good listener. That is exactly why I wanted to become the second CCP (Confidential Contact Person) for Astatine. As a CCP, I am always here to offer a listening ear whenever you need one. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety or a small bump in your studies, please know that you can always reach out for a chat.
Feel free to contact me via my email or phone number:

Gala 2025

On March 12th our annual gala took place! This year we had the pleasure of sharing this festivity with S.A. Proto and S.G. Daedalus. Together with the three associations we had an amazing night. The evening was kicked of by the boards with a quick-step opening dance. Nerve-racking as this may have been, they sure did not show it. Quickly other dancers stepped in showing their eagerness to party. Soon after the Isotopes took the stage, of which some members are part of Astatine! They showed of their repertoire, containing songs such as Whole Lotta Rosie and Mr. Brightside.

Skreeuw! then took the stage with their own excellence. Of course lots of pictures were taken and we have never before seen so many people held up at so many angles. When time came to close down, you can bet yourself that the party did not stop yet. Many went to the city center to continue the amazing night. We want to thank everyone that made such an amazing gala possible. Let’s make the next gala even better!
