Calendar Q&A

What is the openTA calendar service?

The openTA calendar service aggregates the event dates of the cooperating member institutions of the NTA as well as other TA-relevant events.

Conferences, i.e. specialist events relevant to TA

Courses, including seminars or talks with TA references

Lectures on various topics related to TA

Workshops that invite people to exchange ideas on TA topics and work together on questions, and

Miscellaneous, other events and activities
