Dear all,
you’ll find a whole bunch of new announcements in the “job section”, please be aware that deadlines might be close !
As a general information for all potential future announcers: we try to send the newsletter in the last days of each month, and normally we also try to avoid sending messages between two monthly issues – except in case of breaking news, extremely urgent annoucements, or our own mistakes 😉
