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
This event discusses research-policy engagement and features Helen Tattam’s Oxford Policy Engagement Network (OPEN) Fellowship at the University of Oxford’s Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE).
Helen Tattam is a Strategy Lead in the Department for Education’s Skills Strategy Unit. During her time as an OPEN Fellow, she has worked closely with colleagues from SKOPE on joint events, collaborative projects, and shared learning, with a particular focus on skills and tertiary education policy.
During this event, Helen will reflect on her experiences of the policymaking process and collaborating with researchers, followed by reflections from SKOPE academics and researchers: James Robson, Gonzalo Hidalgo Bazan, Adam Saunders, Yushan Xie, and Xin Xu. Together, we will discuss the messy realities of policymaking, and what this means for approaching policy collaboration productively.
This event is open to all with an interest in research–policy collaboration. No registration is required.
