Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.

The US has adopted two major industrial policy programs, one subsidizing green industry, the other chip and other high-tech industries. In doing so, it seemingly paid little if any attention to WTO rules, and Europe rightly was more than a little concerned. There appears to be the threat either of a trade war, or of Europe matching the US subsidies, further eroding the international rules-based system and putting developing countries at a disadvantage. So, too, Europe is discussing whether to impose cross-border tariffs on countries where production is insufficiently “green.” This panel will explore whether we can find a way of saving the planet without a trade war. Is a new global trade framework required, and if so, what might it look like? Is it possible politically to get there? And if not, then what?
