Site update and dates for your calendar
Posted by the Node, on 15 September 2011
Scheduled Node Maintenance:
This weekend (September 16-18) we’re upgrading the system that the Node runs on (WordPress), so you may not be able to access the site at times. Everything should be working again on Monday, but as always, if you spot anything unusual, let us know.
Update 18/9: the site upgrade is now complete, and everything works – as far as we can tell (again, do let us know if something seems weird.)
Dates for your calendar
In the recent survey about the Node, a few people asked to be kept up to date of various scholarships and registration deadlines. Here is a selection of upcoming dates of interest, but this is by no means an exhaustive list. We’ll try to do these once in a while, but don’t hesitate to write your own posts to let people know about similar deadlines, or leave a comment below. Also make sure to check the eligibility of all scholarships and grants before applying.
