OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
