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
The United Kingdom has officially left the European Union, but the challenge of “getting Brexit done” is now entering the deciding phase. Just like Switzerland, which for years has been struggling to conclude a framework agreement with the EU, the UK faces the daunting task of formalising long-term ties with Brussels. The last weeks of turbulence in both, Switzerland and the UK, have not diminished the challenge of how to build sustainable and mutually beneficial relations with the EU, quite the contrary. Join us on Friday 23th October, at 6pm, to get first-hand insight into the current challenges and opportunities of these relationships.
Niklaus Nuspliger, Political Correspondent for the Swiss daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) based in London, Kalypso Nicolaïdis, Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford, and Alexis Lautenberg, former ambassador of Switzerland to the EU, in Italy and the UK will discuss ‘What are the main challenges in the design of the future relations with the EU for the UK and Switzerland respectively? Where are the similarities between Switzerland and the UK’s position? And what would be the pareto optimum in the future relations with the EU?’
