OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
