    The student card will allow you to have a reduced price in the ULB cantine, as well as cinemas and other places advertising discounts for students.
  • You will need an entry in the IRIDIA people page.
    Contact the administrator of the people page (currently Dhananjay Ipparthi, he will need your personal information a picture and a link to your home page).
    If you will have a permanent position, make sure you have a page on the iridia web server first.
  • If you need an account on the cluster, please contact the system administrators of IRIDIA's cluster (currently Federico Pagnozzi and Alberto Franzin). For all communications related to the cluster (requesting an account, reporting issues, etc) write ONLY to cluster_admins at iridia.ulb.ac.be. Any mail about cluster matters sent to the personal or institutional accounts of the cluster admins will be ignored. More info about the cluster can be found here.

Notes

1. ^ a In order not to be submerged by spam, most of the lists accept posts only from email addresses that are in the subscribers list... meaning that if you subscribed to the Staff list with the address xxx@iridia.ulb.ac.be and try to send a message from your other addresses xxx@ulb.ac.be or xyz@gmail.com they will be discarded by the system.
If you have experienced such a problem, or want to be allowed to post from your other addresses, please contact the list owner providing the list of addresses to be added to the "white-list".
