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.
The meaning of being a researcher varies across countries, institutions, disciplines and cultures. Who
are ‘researchers’? What are the challenges researchers at different career stages and from different
contexts are facing? What are the implications of different approaches to defining researchers?
In this session, we will present findings from the Research on Research project based at CGHE
(Centre for Global Higher Education). The project is an international comparative study involving
around 170 participants from the UK, Norway, Italy, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong, as well
as other world regions. This presentation will explore diverse conceptualisations of ‘researchers’,
drawing on findings from interviews with stakeholders and policy analysis of research assessment
frameworks in the six systems.
