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.
This is the first in a series of public policy masterclasses in 2022 that explore the challenges and rewards of engaging with the policymaking community.
Professor Christl Donnelly (Professor of Applied Statistics and Academic Champion for Policy Engagement) has provided scientific advice to policymakers on a range infectious disease outbreaks, including COVID-19, bovine tuberculosis, SARS and Ebola. She is joined by Professor Steven Riley (Director General Data & Analytics at the UK Health Security Agency) and Dr Maria Van Kerkhove (COVID-19 Technical Lead of the World Health Organization and Honorary Lecturer, Imperial College London) to discuss their experience of working together on some of these, and the value of doing so for their respective communities. Participants will have the opportunity to put their questions to the speakers, as well as reflect on how they can engage better with public policy through their own research.
