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.
Sir Paul Nurse, eminent scientist, research leader and research advocate, will be in conversation with the Rector of Exeter, Professor Sir Rick Trainor. Their conversation, which will be followed by a Q&A session, will focus on the importance, and the means, of increasing public and private support for research, particularly in the UK in the 2020s.
They will interpret ‘support’ to mean appreciation and advocacy, as well as the making of grants and appropriations. The underlying assumption of the conversation will be that such support, in both senses, is particularly important to cultivate in times like the present which are characterised by sluggish economic growth, political uncertainty, and international tensions.
This occasion will be complementary to the talk that Sir Paul gave in 2013 on the history and future of Biology.
