UACES Members' Email List
Joining the UACES Members' Email List enables you to contact other UACES members with a single email, as well as to receive emails from other members.

How to? |
|
Who? What? Why? |
Any Individual or Student member of UACES is welcome to join the email list. In addition, an unlimited number of staff or students in a Department which holds Corporate membership is also eligible to join.
Who can send messages to the email list?
Any person who is eligible and has joined the email list can send messages.
UACES will not send messages on your behalf. Any replies to messages posted to the email list go directly to the person who sent the original message.
What can be sent to the email list?
The email list is an excellent resource for:
Letting people know about upcoming conferences and other major events
Advertising job vacancies for positions in European Studies and related disciplines
Circulating calls for papers
What cannot be sent to the email list?
Political messages
Messages which are for commercial purposes
Advertisements for courses
Advertisements for books (Members' books may be promoted in UACES News or on this website)
Requests for a job vacancy
Information on the change of institution and contact details for a particular individual
Requests for support for charitable causes
Regular emails about a series of lectures / seminars (please send just once, with a weblink for colleagues to find future events)
It is not possible to circulate attachments on the email list. This is a security measure to prevent the spread of viruses. To get around this, you will need to copy and paste the contents of any attachments into the body of your email.
Postgraduate research students are also encouraged to join the EuroResearch email list which is administered by the UACES Student Forum. This list is of particular relevance to students, and includes information on:
Summer Schools
Conferences for postgraduates
Student Forum activities
Scholarship opportunities
Any student may join the EuroResearch email list, including those who are not members of UACES.
Step 1: Email the following command to uaces-request@jiscmail.ac.uk.
join uaces firstname lastname University/Institution Department
For example: join uaces John Smith Oxford Politics
Step 2: You will be sent an email confirming that you have been added to the list - this response is not automated so there will be a time delay.
Once you have received confirmation that you have successfully joined the email list, you can start sending messages.
Simply send an email (with no attachments) to uaces@jiscmail.ac.uk.
Your message will immediately be posted to every member on the email list, so it is not necessary to preface your email with any other comments.
You can find again any email that has been circulated on the list since 1999 (!) by simply searching the Archives. Please see: www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/uaces.html
Suspend yourself temporarily from the list
You should suspend yourself from the list before setting up any automatic 'out of office' message. Some email systems get trapped in a loop which will generate an endless number of emails that will clog up your Inbox and that of everyone else on the list.
To temporarily suspend yourself from the email list whilst you are away, send the following command to jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk.
set * nomail
--
The two dashes (--) typed on the next line down indicate that this is the end of the command.
To rejoin the list, send the following command to jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk
set
* mail
--
The two dashes (--) typed on the next line down indicate that this is the end of the command.
You will then be automatically rejoined to the list that you suspended yourself from.
To cease your membership of the list, send the following command to jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk.
