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 first half century of lithium batteries and the challenges facing us in moving forward
The Nobel Prize Committee said of John Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino’s lithium-ion batteries: “They have laid the foundation of a wireless, fossil fuel-free society, and are of the greatest benefit to humankind.” Now the world needs to take action, addressing the key challenge of building a sustainable supply chain and manufacturing capability that leapfrogs present battery technology, to foster sustainable manufacturing and use.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof Irene Tracey, CBE, FRS, FMedSci, will be in attendance.
