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.
We are pleased to host Dr Moritz Kraemer, who will be presenting his talk, “The effect of human mobility and population density on the spread of COVID-19.” Dr Kraemer is a Branco Weiss Research Fellow in the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford and an Associate of the Oxford Martin Programme on Pandemic Genomics. His work addresses questions related to the spatial spread of infectious diseases. In January, Dr Kraemer began building a global line list database of confirmed COVID-19 cases, which has evolved into the Open COVID-19 Data Working Group, an initiative co-led by the University of Oxford, Harvard Medical School, Northeastern University, and the University of Washington. Using this data and other global datasets, Dr Kraemer is focused on modelling the impact of human mobility on the spread of COVID-19 and identifying how human mobility data and genomic data can inform when lockdowns can be lifted.
