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
In October 2023, four graduates from the University of Oxford School of Geography and Environment travelled to West Bengal and Sikkim in India for six weeks with the aim of sharing stories of communities’ resilience and adaptation to increasing water challenges.
“We were driven to understand how communities are adapting to shifting hydrological conditions, what innovative methods are employed to mitigate water-related risks, and whether West Bengal’s water managers can serve as global exemplars. Our partnerships with local organizations made this project successful. We are thankful for the support by the Oxford University Exploration Club and Expeditions Council, and other funders.”
The event will be followed by a networking break with drinks and snacks.
