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.

Attention will also be drawn to problems of conflict escalation and the potential symbolic value of cyber weapons as a ‘prestige weapon’ to enhance ‘swaggering’.
