On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The event organised by Dana Jalobeanu (Technische Universität Nürnberg), Daniel Garber (Princeton University), Mogens Laerke (CNRS, IHRIM/MFO) and Alan Stewart (Columbia University) as part of the NOTCOM activities programme. The workshop focuses on key-questions relating to the idols of the mind, Bacon’s new sciences, the organisation of knowledge and the new methods of inquiry proposed in the De augmentis scientiarum.
