Find out more about the University of Southampton events calendar - how it works, and how you can add your own event.
Automated event listings
If you are a member of staff who has submitted an event to be included on your Faculty, Professional service or Academic Unit website, it is likely that the Events Calendar will pick this up automatically and display it without any additional work.
This is because most of the events listed on the calendar come from events feeds from other websites across the University. This automation cuts down on the need to create duplicate event listings, saving staff time and effort.
The full list of feeds which are utilised by the calendar can be found via this link.
If you have submitted an event to your website but cannot see it on the central calendar after one day, it is likely that your news feed is currently not included in the list above.
To get your news feed added to the list, please click here to contact Communications.
Please note: the calendar supports RSS feeds; if your events feed is not in RSS format, it may not be possible to add it to the calendar. Events from the past are not displayed.
