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 newer EU states have managed an impressive pace of real convergence, significantly outpacing the EM average. Integration into European manufacturing chains have been central to this. Newer EU states have also successfully leveraged EU funds to boost potential growth. But economic integration increasingly contrasts with political divergence. Some of the newer EU states seek greater autonomy over policy but more importantly some of the newer member states are pushing back against core EU values. At this stage we are still in the process of transitioning to a new equilibrium. Developments in core Europe and the newer EU states will determine the end point.
