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
There are a multitude of reasons to be optimistic about the future; the third annual Rhodes Forum on Technology & Society will bring together visionaries from the realms of science, technology, arts, and social innovation to discuss ground-breaking developments that paint a hopeful picture of tomorrow.
Through a series of keynotes, panel talks, and interactive sessions, the Forum will delve into the profound impacts of technology on society, and empower participants to explore, debate, and forge pathways toward a future where technology enhances societal well-being and global sustainability.
Join us at Rhodes House, Oxford or online on 2 November to hear how: – cutting-edge technology can transform infrastructure and public spaces to create environments that are not only more efficient but also more inclusive and participatory. – rising life expectancy in wealthier nations impacts social systems such as healthcare and pensions, requiring significant shifts in workforce strategies and elder care solutions. – the rise of commercial activity in space can help equitably and sustainably manage and conserve Earth’s resources. – AI can be a tool to empower people to build more productive and meaningful lives, rather than a threat to livelihoods.
