OxTalks is Changing
During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In Discussion With Funders
Join us for a panel discussion with speakers from funding institutions answering your questions. The event will seek to answer such questions as:
· What one call or project would the funder want researchers to know about (if they don’t already)
· What are funders looking for in the supporting documentation/statement of support? How do you make sure your supporting documentation is strong?
· What level of risk are funders willing to accept? What is the balance to strike between ambitious, “big picture” ideas and more straightforward, “safe” ideas? How much room is there for discovering things along the way?
You’ll be able to submit your questions on the day.
