Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The next quarterly forecasting meeting of the International Institute of Forecasters (UK Chapter) will be hosted by the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development (OICSD). As usual this will be run in a hybrid format. We can now share the agenda for the day – please see below. Participants who plan to attend in person need to register latest by midday on 8 Feb, as we need to pass on the names of registered participants to the college reception to be allowed entry.
