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

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infrastructure providers increasingly merge, a mere material and technological perspective on digital infrastructure is obsolete and needs to be replaced with a peoples’ perspective.
