Ongoing calls

In every section, calls are ranked by their deadline (DL), so most recent announcements are not necessarily on the top of each section.

If you want to circulate an announcement, please sent it to geco_cast@lam.fr . It will be then added on this page and to the weekly mailing list.

if you subscribe this page (clicking on the button "Subscribe") an automatic email will warn you when a new item will be inserted in the list.
