OxTalks is Changing
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.
Gross National Happiness (GNH)
The presentation will centre around the concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) and the development of Gross National Happiness Index in Bhutan using the Alkire-Foster method. The session will feature insights into the latest findings from the 2022 GNH Index, showcasing its pivotal role as a tool for informed policy decisions that prioritize the wellbeing and happiness of the populations of Bhutan. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how the results from the GNH Index are actively shaping Bhutan’s national planning and budgeting processes.
