On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

These ‘outcome based’ contracts have been seen as one interpretation of the recent turn to social investment in social policy, and have been the subject of considerable hype. This seminar will discuss these claims in the context of a study of three social impact bonds in the UK.
