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
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.
