OxTalks is Changing
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
The geopolitics of global high-tech standards: Key issues and debates
Global standards for critical and emerging digital technologies (CETs, such as 5G and AI) will play an increasingly crucial role in the adoption and governance of these technologies. In recent years, many countries/regions such as the US, China, and the EU have laid down standards strategies or industry policies, aiming to maintain or pursue global leadership in international standards-setting for CETs. Among them, China has stepped up its efforts in participating in the negotiation of global technology standards since around 2015. The US and the EU have enhanced their cooperation in technology standard setting through the US-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC) framework and emphasised partnership with countries (such as Japan and South Korea) in line with shared democratic values. This webinar aims to facilitate dialogue and an exchange of views among leading policy analysts and industry experts from major players in international standards-setting—from the US, China, Europe and others. Panellists will discuss challenges to and solutions for international cooperation around global standardisation for selected CETs, as well as the consequences of non-cooperation in this area.
