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
Ireland’s willingness to put in place policies to bolster competitiveness and take advantage of trade and financial globalisation contributed to rapid real convergence over the two decades leading up to the global crisis. But in part because of the speed of catch-up, there was much less done to protect against the economy’s increasing vulnerability to downturns in trade and financial globalisation. The economy is entering its fifth year of recovery but challenges to the business model remain. The case for development of a long term policy package aimed at smoothing cycles is strong.
