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.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the emergence of bacterial strains that survive antibiotic treatments, is a major global public health concern, causing more than 1.2 million deaths each year and threatening a return to a pre-antibiotic era. Tackling AMR is a multi-faceted problem that involves actions and interventions from the understanding of AMR mechanisms to the development of new antibiotics and diagnostic tests. A panel of AMR specialists will discuss the problem and the action that is needed to slow down this “silent epidemic”.
