Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The third Oxford Advanced Materials Network (OxAMN) meeting brings together researchers from across Oxford to explore Materials Innovation for and in support of Secure Supply Chains. This event aims to spark transdisciplinary collaboration across departments and colleges by highlighting the breadth of Oxford’s expertise, from fundamental materials science to advanced manufacturing, modelling, and applications in healthcare, sustainability, and national security.
Arriving at a moment shaped by the UK Government’s 10‑year Strategy for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, the meeting provides a platform to connect Oxford’s research strengths with emerging national priorities. The programme features sessions on manufacturing and bio‑inspired materials, advanced modelling and characterisation, and applications ranging from bioelectronics to laser machining and interface chemistry. Contributions from the Government Office for Science and the Department of Business and Trade underscore the importance of materials innovation to secure and resilient supply chains.
The day includes the introduction of MPLS’s first OPEN Fellow and the launch of the OxAMN Mini Talk Series: Advanced Materials in UK Policy, as well as opportunities for discussion and networking through poster presentations, lunch, and coffee breaks.
We look forward to an engaging day of ideas, connections, and collaboration across Oxford’s advanced materials community.
