[iaoa-education] Note on courses and speakers in -> FW: WebST 2016: early registration 14 February

Fri Feb 5 16:33:07 CET 2016

Hi Frank,

Thanks for sending this. I just added the course to the website. Right now
we have courses organized by discipline or content rather than recurring
or not. 

I would also like to add the ISAO summer school in Bolzano. Is there a
website for that yet? A google search did not reveal one.

Best,
Amanda
