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 recent years, there has been a marked uptick in interest, use, and development of Systems Thinking methods, particularly in the UK. The Oxford Systems Thinking Hub has been set up to promote and develop the use of Systems Thinking approaches across Oxford. In partnership with the Institute for New Economic Thinking, we will be running a first ‘Systems Thinking Series’ in Hilary Term 2025.
The Series is made up of two fireside chats with Oxford researchers experienced in using Systems Thinking approaches, and two reading group sessions. These will all be relatively informal events. The fireside chats will start with a short presentation from the researcher, followed by discussion on the topics raised, as well as an exchange of experiences and tips on using Systems Thinking. The reading groups will be hosted at lunch time (bring your own lunch!), with readings suggested by members of the Oxford Systems Thinking Hub.
