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.
This memorial lecture in honour of Doug Scott, the iconic mountaineer and humanitarian, will be given by Leo Houlding, one of Britain’s top climbers. He will give an illustrated lecture about his epic adventures in the mountains in the last 25 years and will report back on his recent July 2023 expedition to Baffin Island. The event will raise money for Community Action Nepal, which was established by Doug Scott to improve the standard of living of remote mountain communities in Nepal by supporting health posts, schools and livelihood projects.
