OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Collaborating with organisations to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Join us for a fantastic panel event bringing together representatives from academia, business, the UN World Tourism Organisation and Just a Drop – an NGO that has helped deliver sustainable water solutions to over 1.9 million people in 32 countries – to discuss how organisations can work together to progress sustainable tourism and delivery of the sustainable development goals. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more and put your questions to sector leaders.
Hear more about the great opportunity for 20 graduate students to take part in the 2022/23 easyJet holidays Sustainable Tourism Programme working on projects focusing on two complementary areas: Local Impact and Strategic Impact. Local: how can we address issues in specific Mediterranean tourism destinations from a bottom-up perspective? Strategic: how can we work with governments and the United Nations to shape industry-wide progress from a top-down perspective?
The panel will be followed by a drinks reception and opportunity to network.
