On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In recognition of a lifetime’s contribution across the mathematical sciences, we are initiating a series of annual Public Lectures in honour of Roger Penrose. The first lecture will be given by his long-time collaborator and friend Stephen Hawking.
Stephen Hawking is the former Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge and now the Dennis Stanton Avery and Sally Tsui Wong-Avery Director of Research at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and Founder of the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at Cambridge.
I am pleased to say that registration for the Inaugural Roger Penrose Lecture by Stephen Hawking on 18 January (5pm) will open at 10am on 4th January 2017. A number of places have been allocated to different groups. These places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. You are limited to one place per person (and four per school). Please follow the instructions below:
Apologies for being so rigid, but, as you can imagine, demand is huge. The lecture will be podcasted live. See www.maths.ox.ac.uk for more details.
