OxTalks is Changing
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.
Using your Career Development Review to plan your next career steps
Your Career Development Review (CDR) is more than a procedural check-in, it’s an opportunity to take stock, plan ahead, and align your professional development with your broader career goals.
This session will help you approach your next CDR with clarity and purpose. We’ll explore: – Preparing for your CDR: how to reflect on achievements, identify development priorities, and gather meaningful evidence.
- How the Careers Service can help: tailored support for researchers, including individual consultations and targeted resources.
- Using narrative CVs as a development tool: how to evaluate your contributions and progression across research, teaching, service, and leadership using the narrative CV model, increasingly recognised by funders and institutions, to inform your career development activities and priorities.
By the end of the session, you’ll have structured ways to think about your professional story and clear insight into the resources available to support your development, ready to make your next CDR a constructive and forward-looking conversation.
