OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Europe’s refugee crisis poses a great challenge for Greece. While in 2004, the country registered 77.000 arrivals and arrests, the number of refugees at the Aegean Sea reached 780,000 registrations in 2015, constituting an unprecedented 1000% increase in refugee flows. In his talk, Dimitris Christopolous will explain how Greece – itself in a difficult position due to the financial situation – reacted to this refugee influx and what the deficits and achievements of the government are. Looking at the role of Germany, the EU-Turkey deal, and the future of Schengen, he will also situate the handling of the refugee crisis within the contemporary European discourse and discuss sustainable and human short- and long-term strategies for managing the refugee issue in Greece and in the EU.
