OxTalks is Changing
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

***A kind reminder, the deadline for booking a timeslot is Tuesday, March 4th 2025
University research is facing increasing scrutiny from the UK Government and research funders in relation to security, ethical, financial, and reputational risk. A range of measures have been rolled out to address risk in international research collaborations, such as legislation, advice services, and support to universities in their due diligence processes. Actions include the export control regulatory framework and the National Security and Investments Act, as well as the tightening of funder terms and conditions.
To help departments navigate the changing landscape of Trusted Research, Research Services regularly host a series of Trusted Research & Assurance Surgeries. These surgeries are open to researchers, departmental support staff, divisional representatives, and RS colleagues to discuss all aspects of Trusted Research and Assurance including export control, NSIA, and due diligence on international collaborations.
To ensure your session meets your and your department’s needs, we ask that you clarify your particular area of interest upon booking:
* Export Control as it relates to your department
* Due Diligence for third parties
* Managing risk
* Information on National Security Investment Act and other legislation involving international collaborative research
* Questions regarding a specific case
