OxTalks is Changing
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
Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Training Session (in-person)
A 50,000 word thesis would take 7 hours to present; how about in just 3 minutes with the aid of a single slide?
The 3 Minute Thesis competition challenges doctoral candidates to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance in just three minutes to a non-specialist audience.
This course helps you prepare for the competition and ensure that you have the best chance possible to represent Oxford nationally.
