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
Commissioner Gentiloni will discuss the impact of the Russian aggression against Ukraine for the EU’s policy priorities in a range of areas. What must be done to ensure that the post-pandemic economic recovery is not derailed? How can we reduce our dependence on Russian oil and gas while maintaining our commitment to the climate transition? And what are the implications for European defence and the transatlantic alliance?
The panel includes Prof Petra Schleiter, Prof Andrea Ruggeri and Dr Matteo Garavoglia, and there will be a Q&A session at the end of the talk.
