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 University seeks to reduce scope 1 carbon emissions from around 18,000 COt pa to 4,000 COt pa by 2035. This can only be achieved by replacing gas plant with lower carbon intensive alternatives. This will generally feature heat pumps arranged individually or as networks. This deployment requires a focus on related estates-wide issues including building performance optimisation, electricity use and supply, system resilience, and metering and control, as well as the practicalities of delivery and cost. The University does not have all the answers, but there is a clear approach and this talk introduces the activities the University is taking to address this challenge.
