OxTalks is Changing
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
Seeing from above: Using satellites for development research and policy insight
Dear all,
Developing countries face intertwined economic, political, and climate challenges but lack reliable data, limiting effective policies. However, advances in technology, satellites, geospatial intelligence, and AI offer new ways to measure socio-economic dynamics even in data-scarce contexts. In her talk “Seeing from above: Using satellites for development research and policy insight”, Samira Barzon of the Environmental Change Institute will explore how these innovations can enhance transparency and data-driven policymaking for development.
