The Events (Calendar) block

The "Events (calendar)" plugin allows you to insert a button for your contacts to easily add events to their calendar.

The main button opens the web version of the EPFL Outlook calendars (ewa.epfl.ch).

A series of secondary links allow you to add the event to the web version of the EPFL Outlook calendars, Outlook.com, Office 365 or Google Calendar or to download the event in ICS format, supported by all native calendar applications (Calendar MacOS, Outlook Mac / PC, iOS, Android, etc.).
