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.
Whether you’re completing an employer’s diversity monitoring form or an immigration application, a drop-down menu on a website or a national census, many of the systems we encounter in everyday life have adapted to welcome some LGBTQ individuals.
