Support options | How to add the Deadlines Calendar

The Deadlines Calendar looks to serve as a hub of general information for educators and upcoming academic events, including associated deadlines and their respective sources. It is intended as an information tool for educators to have all deadlines shown in one single place, and to be accessible as it can be overlapped on your personal Outlook calendar.

It has been developed putting together the information from many teams within ESA and the collaboration of Susan Klinkert from ESG.
