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
In 2016, the 5th annual Southeast Asian Studies Symposium returns to Oxford. It will be held at the state of the art Andrew Wiles Building of the Mathematical Institute. It includes over 80 panels presenting nearly 200 papers, along with 5 roundtables, 2 workshops, and 2 multi-day fora – the Southeast Asia Investment Forum, and the Southeast Asia Strategic Forum on Women, Business, and Economic Development. In 2015, the 4th Symposium (held at Sunway University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 20-24 March) attracted a total of 867 delegates from 24 countries. It was opened by Sultan Nazrin Shah of Perak, and closed with a lecture from Prof Jeffrey Sachs, Special Advisor to the UN Secretary-General.
