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
In the current geopolitical situation, the Visegrád Group (Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia) faces mounting challenges that threaten democratic values and regional stability. With pro-Russian governments and democratic backsliding in Slovakia and Hungary, the upcoming parliamentary elections in the Czechia, as well as Poland’s upcoming presidential election, the political landscape brings with itself many uncertainties.
Join us for an in-depth discussion with the former prime minister of Slovakia and former minister of defence of Slovakia on the state of democracy in the V4, Russian influence in the region, and the implications for defense and foreign policy— with a particular focus on Slovakia. Our expert panel will analyse the broader geopolitical outlook and what the future holds for the region in this era of uncertainty.
