OxTalks is Changing
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.
OxFOS25: Open Knowledge Infrastructure
Part of the Oxford Forum of Open Scholarship 2025
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infrastructure providers increasingly merge, a mere material and technological perspective on digital infrastructure is obsolete and needs to be replaced with a peoples’ perspective.
