This can be done using the enumitem LaTeX package:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem}
#+LaTeX: \setitemize{itemsep=0pt, parsep=0pt}
* list
This is a list
- a
- b
- c
- d
- e
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The \setitemize above is equivalent to
#+LaTeX: \setitemize{noitemsep}
You might also try
#+LaTeX: \setitemize{nolistsep}
which eliminates all vertical space.
On Ubuntu/Debian, the enumitem package is part of texlive-latex-extra
and the documentation is in texline-latex-extra-docs.

You can turn off section numbering by using
#+OPTIONS: num:nil
but I don't know if it's possible to then turn it back on within some sectioning
unit. But iiuc, you could do this and then use an enumerated list for the weeks
-
something like this perhaps:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+OPTIONS: num:nil
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem}
#+LaTeX: \setitemize{nolistsep}
#+LaTeX: \setenumerate{label=Week \theenumi, itemsep=0pt, parsep=0pt}
* list
This is a list
- a
- b
- c
- d
- e
* enumerated list
This is an enumerated list
1. a
2. b
3. c
4. d
5. e
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
