Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
ARCTIC SENTINEL is a high-tempo strategic simulation designed to probe decision-making under ambiguity, pressure, and intensifying geopolitical competition.
In this exercise, participants step into the roles of senior political, defence, and civil-service leaders, grappling with a rapidly evolving Arctic flashpoint shaped by great-power rivalry, contested domains, and incomplete information. As the situation accelerates, escalation risks sharpen, signalling becomes harder to interpret, and attendees must confront how quickly a crisis can drift into more dangerous territory.
What can ARCTIC SENTINEL reveal about strategic behaviour as we move through the mid-2020s? Where do our assumptions break under pressure? And how might simulations unlock creative approaches to international security challenges?
