On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
You are warmly invited to an evening celebrating the outstanding biomedical research at Jesus College.
Join us in the Ship Street Centre on Thursday 16th October from 18.30 for an inspiring event featuring Professor Geoff Higgins and Professor Jonathan Cook, who will share insights into their research careers. There will also be opportunities for questions and discussion. Drinks and nibbles will be provided. No booking required,
