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.
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.
