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 world’s Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) currently face a considerable and daunting infrastructure deficit. While challenging, the deficit presents a unique opportunity for investors to diversify their current OECD portfolio and to seek new sources of investment return by investing in dynamic markets with faster growing economies. The OXIIEMDE workshop brings together more than 30 of the world’s leading experts from international organisations, academia and financial institutions to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing infrastructure investment in EMDEs. Across the spectrum of issues to be addressed, the OXIIEMDE workshop will tackle the critical dynamics of:
How multilateral financial institutions can function as platforms to mobilise private sector and institutional investors alike to facilitate infrastructure investment in EMDEs.
How investors can transition from isolated ‘projects-thinking’ approaches to cohesive ‘systems-thinking’ and by doing so, fully appraise the macro-economic, societal and environmental dynamics of these emerging infrastructure investment pathways.
