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
The COVID-19 pandemic represented a major challenge to many sectors of society. It also provided the opportunity for epidemiological modellers to prove their worth. Much of the modelling was performed to extremely tight deadlines and was underpinned by noisy and often biased data.
5 years on, and with the benefit of hindsight, I’ll present a personal perspective of what went well, what went badly and lessons for next time. I’ll cover many aspects, but pay particular attention to vaccination, roadmaps, Omicron and building collaborative networks.
