OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

HT26 Energy Seminar – Week 7: Women led: Clean energy transitions in rural Kenya
This seminar presents findings from a four-phase clean energy programme delivered in Kenya between 2022 and 2025. Beginning with solar providers, Phase 1 strengthened how sales agents communicated the real-life benefits of solar technologies through an SDG lens. Phase 2 piloted training with women’s chamas, showing strong knowledge gains and increased confidence to adopt clean energy. Phase 3 expanded this model to more than 200 women across 13 counties, cultivating leadership and uptake. Phase 4 supported 17 community-led clean energy projects, improving health, savings, safety, and education access. The model has now been recognised by the UNFCCC as a global grassroots reference project.
