Each laboratory or department at EPFL may request the creation and management of a local Memento channel. However, announcements published in these channels are only visible to people who know their address.
If you wish to promote a one-time event and give it broader visibility, it is recommended to:
- create your announcement using the “Announce an event” form;
- submit it for publication in other Memento channels (schools, EPFL Memento, etc.);
- display it (or not!) on a page of your website;
- send reminder emails.
A local Memento channel remains a relatively confidential space.
Local Memento channels are not listed in the main Memento interface. However, anyone may subscribe to a local channel in order to receive by email summaries of upcoming events.
Empty channels or channels that have not been updated for more than two years are automatically disabled.
