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
All good things must come to an end. The MEGA finale this Thursday will explore industry, a sector responsible for about a quarter of global emissions, and regarded as hard-to-decarbonise because of its energy intensity. This week’s speakers are both working to decarbonise industry.
Richard Jackson is Director of Standard Gas, who are converting non-recyclable waste into gas and biochar, which can provide carbon-efficient inputs to manufacturing, agriculture and construction. Professor Yulong Ding is the Founder of PeroCycle, a spin-out from Birmingham University, who are eliminating CO2 emissions from steel-making. Yulong is a prolific inventor with over 100 patents and recognised with many awards including Royal Academy Fellowship. The Q&A will be led by Professor Cameron Hepburn, one of Oxford’s most prominent environmental economists, and founder of three green finance companies. So join us this Thursday at 5:30pm to make our series finale the most mega MEGA – it’s now or never. There will be a Bacchanalia of organic wine, with the official MEGA Afterparty following the talk until 7:30pm.
