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 research community holds and generates huge swathes of biological, clinical, social and environmental data. The challenge is how best to select and analyse the data to help unlock better diagnosis, treatment and ultimately prevention of mental health conditions. The MRC Pathfinder programme looks to tackle this head on, helping build the systems, infrastructure and insight that will help researchers make the best use of Big Data.
University of Oxford’s Mental Health Data Ethics Leadership group (MhDEL), based across the Department of Psychiatry and Big Data Institute, has been established to provide expertise in ethics and law for supporting Oxford’s work in Pathfinder. At this inaugural MhDEL meeting members of the Pathfinder team will raise and discuss ethical and governance challenges that they are currently facing in areas including data linkage, consent, de- and re-identification.
