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
On behalf of the KE Hub for Mathematical Sciences (KE Hub) we would like to invite you to attend a lunchtime webinar on 8th Oct, (12:15 to 13:30) about the application of mathematical sciences to the Water sector.
This is the first in a series of sector-focused webinars bringing together mathematicians and businesses with the aim of catalysing connections and building collaborations. This will lead to understanding sector-specific challenges and where mathematicians could support companies to innovate and overcome their challenges.
The webinar format is informal and is intended to stimulate connections between the mathematicians and the company attendees.
