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
The web’s creators did not set out to build the foundations of our twenty-first century economies. They could never have predicted the volume, velocity, and variety of services that the web would one day handle. But, with five billion people now online, the principles on which the internet was built are coming under increasing pressure.
As governments look to regulate, we consequently wanted to take a step back and think about how the web should work. This project proposes a series of technical, regulatory, and institutional interventions that reimagine the foundations of a modern internet built on privacy, interoperability, and consent.
