OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Newton Fund team from the British Embassy in Mexico City are visiting the UK, joined by representatives from key Technological Colleges and Research Centres, mainly Chief Academic Officers, Directors of Technological Universities and a representative of the Mexican Ministry of Education. The delegates oversee approximately over 500 institutions from Mexico collectively. They are visiting Oxford to present their institutions and discuss potential interactions in the areas of health and nutrition, ‘agri-tech’, energy, climate change, and future cities. This exercise is intended to shape future Newton Fund calls up to 2021.
