The calendars below indicate currently open slots.
Although TUNA talks are traditionally on Tuesdays, other days of the week can usually be accomodated if enough advance time is given. However, non-Tuesday TUNA talks (MUNA, WUNA, FUNA) are subject to room availability and may suffer from lower attendance due to potential audience members having other committments, especially during the school year. Fridays are discouraged because of a possible conflict with ELF talks at the NTC, and Thursdays as well, because of a long standing lunch tradition and the colloquium at 4.
