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
Research on ageing is conducted within departments in all four of Oxford’s divisions. Research spans the cultural and societal consequences of an ageing population; therapeutics of age-related diseases; the population-level consequences of ageing in terms of city planning, education and economics; patterns of senescence across the tree of life; helping people live happily and healthily into old age; and much more.
We have arranged a workshop to bring together researchers on ageing from across the divisions. The aim of the workshop is to raise awareness of the diversity of ageing research across the university and to stimulate cross-disciplinary research agendas that could potentially underpin bids for government and industry funding in this area.
The workshop will consist of a brief introduction from Patrick Grant (pro-VC for research), short talks from researchers in each division, a panel discussion where panel members include Sarah Harper (Oxford Centre for Population Ageing), Chas Bountra (pro-VC for innovation) and Sunetra Gupta (MPLS) and a drinks reception.
The workshop will take place on February 13th starting at 2.00pm in the lecture theatre of the Oxford Martin School. If you wish to attend, please register www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/oxford-ageing-workshop-tickets-53638783044?aff=ebdssbdestsearch as spaces are limited.
