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.
In today’s increasingly complex world, decision-makers are tasked with solving problems that demand deep understanding and carefully considered solutions. Scientific research is essential in this process, offering evidence-based insights that help leaders grasp key issues and evaluate the implications of their choices.
But how can researchers ensure their work effectively informs policy? What strategies have been successful in bridging the gap between research and policymaking, and what should researchers keep in mind when engaging with government officials?
Join us for a thought-provoking masterclass with Professor Robin May, Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government’s Food Standards Agency, and Professor Charles Godfray, Director of the Oxford Martin School. Drawing on their extensive experience at the intersection of science and policy, they will share practical insights, real-world examples, and lessons learned for researchers to engage with policymakers and enhance their impact on policy.
