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.
Once we were told that life after university would be pretty straightforward. A degree would lead to a job and a career, and many (perhaps most) of our worries would be over. After two turbulent decades the 21st century now provides a different context, and new questions arise. What does the word “career” still mean in practice? Will there be enough work to go around? Is homo sapiens on the way out, like an out of date product, to be replaced by algorithms, AI and automation?
Perhaps this is all too gloomy. New technology will make hitherto unimagined progress possible. Maybe there will be more time for fun and leisure. The future’s bright…maybe.
Come along to hear Stefan Stern, author and journalist, discuss our brilliant future and discuss what’s coming next.
