OxTalks is Changing
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
Oxford Global Health Summit. "Collaboration across Boundaries"
✨ Join us for the inaugural Oxford Global Health Summit
An internal event bringing together colleagues from across the University’s four divisions to connect, reflect, celebrate and help shape Oxford’s collective engagement in global health.
The Summit is a space to listen, share, and spark new conversations about how Oxford can contribute to addressing the major health challenges of our time. Together, we’ll explore bold question
What should Oxford be doing in global health — today and tomorrow?
How can we respond more effectively to the real health needs of people around the world?
How can we collaborate more meaningfully across disciplines and with partners in the Global South?
We want to hear from you — your ideas for what Oxford Global Health should be doing.
