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
Recent years have seen a significant step-change in attention to biodiversity as a political priority for governments worldwide. This year is due to culminate in the agreement of the United Nations Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, and domestically, the UK Environment Bill will rewrite post-Brexit rules on everything from agriculture to pollution for many years to come. Considering these developments: What is the role of academic research in informing and scrutinising policy trajectories? How can academics from different disciplines and career stages more effectively engage with policymakers? With many interconnected social, economic, and technological dimensions to account for, what even is policy for biodiversity? And, where do we want it to go in future?
