Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
EIT Health’s annual Call for Proposals has been published early in October. EIT Health is a knowledge & innovation network comprising ~150 leading industry, academic and healthcare partners in a network across Europe, including the University of Oxford.
It addresses 6 focus areas:
1. Towards Health Continuum Care Pathways
2. Creating the Enabling Environment for Healthcare Transformation
3. Harnessing the Power of Real World Data (RWD)
4. Bringing Care Home
5. Employer Leadership in Improving Health Outcomes in the Workplace
6. Fostering Healthy Lives by Introducing Behavioural Change
EIT Health addresses these topics via calls for proposals on Education, Innovation and Accelerator programmes. Education programmes can address students, professionals, entrepreneurs or citizens. Innovation projects fund the validation of healthcare technologies with the potential to significantly impact healthcare. Accelerator programmes must already have reached the proof of concept stage and the team must be committed to take the innovation to market/implementation (business creation).
If you are interested in learning more about EIT Health, you may be interested in attending the lunch & learn session with EIT Health staff at the BioEscalator on 14th November at 1pm (free lunch).
