On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
