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
Funding innovation and innovative funding: Addressing the pioneer gap in fragile places
Registration required: https://alixzwane.eventbrite.com
Alix Zwane, CEO of the Global Innovation Fund, will discuss how alleviating poverty and reducing fragility requires a pro-development, market-based approach to gather in new ideas and additional financial flows. In her view, patient and long-term investment capital is a critical component for breaking the extreme poverty cycle.
Alix Zwane has 20 years of experience advancing the agenda of evidence-based aid and international development as an investor, a social entrepreneur, and an innovator herself. She has worked at the intersection of the evidence and innovation agendas from a diverse set of posts. Among her various roles, Alix was the first employee and Executive Director at Evidence Action, which under her leadership catalysed school-based deworming for hundreds of millions of children around the world, and the provision of safe drinking water for millions of people in four countries.
