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.
Between 06 and 09 June, the elections for the European Parliament will be held for the tenth time. With over 350 million European Union citizens eligible to vote, the European elections are one of the largest democratic elections in the world. Over the past years, the EU has established itself as an important player in the regulation of digital technologies. Much is at stake during this election, as the continuing support for far-right parties is likely to move the Parliament’s composition substantially to the right. We will discuss how digital technologies and the European elections intersect. Special attention will be dedicated to far-right and populist right actors, such as in the realm of campaigning, social media use, or their possible impact on Europe’s digital future.
