OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Open Knowledge Infrastructure
Trends in open science and scholarly communication require to think differently about infrastructure in the 21st century. On top of operating buildings, laboratories, libraries and other forms of scientific infrastructure, research institutions need to accommodate for a globally networked system for knowledge sharing. This “Open knowledge infrastructure” goes far beyond IT-Systems and involves digital preservation, intellectual data curation, analytics, software development and the operation and control of artificial intelligence. As the roles of researchers and infrastructure providers increasingly merge, a mere material and technological perspective on digital infrastructure is obsolete and needs to be replaced with a peoples’ perspective.
