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.
Following SARS, changes were made in China to improve public health emergency responses. These included the establishment of a new system for reporting infectious diseases and considerable investment in the public health system. However, these changes fell short of those required to deal with a COVID-scale pandemic. In my talk, I will discuss some of the lessons and changes resulting from the SARS and COVID experiences with some suggestions for future research.
