Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We are thrilled to host Sir John Jenkins, former Director of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and current Head of the Middle East programme at the Geopolitics Centre at Cambridge. Sir John, who served as the UK’s ambassador to several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, will share his insights on the grand strategy of Mohammed bin Salman, changing regional architecture under the new U.S. administration, and the Kingdom’s relationship with Iran and Europe, among other interesting topics.
