iCalendar download: you may download and import the academic activities between the 'from date' and 'to date' in an older version of Outlook than the 2007 version or in any application supporting the import of the iCalendar format. If you import the events by downloading the file and importing it in an application, the events will not be automatically updated!

Outlook supports the subscription to this calendar since version 2007!

If you are using Outlook 2003, you can either download and import the calendar-file, in which case the academic activities will not be updated automatically, or you may try out a third-party plugin that adds to the 2003-version of Outlook the ability to import the calendar (no support). You can find this plugin at http://remotecalendars.sourceforge.net/ .

In this case a window appears, asking if you want to subscribe to the calendar even if there are no events. You should subscribe to the calendar, which will be updated automatically when there are some events scheduled.
