OxTalks is Changing
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
The Strachey Lectures in Computer Science
The Strachey Lectures are a series of termly computer science lectures named after Christopher Strachey, the first Professor of Computation at the University of Oxford.
In 1965, Christopher Strachey became the first leader of the Programming Research Group (PRG) at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory (which later became the Department of Computer Science). He was the first Professor of Computation at Oxford, succeeded by Sir Tony Hoare in 1977 after his untimely death. With Dana Scott he founded the field of denotational semantics, providing a firm mathematical foundation for programming languages.
The Strachey lectures began in 1995 and have included many distinguished speakers and experts over the years, discussing topics of computer science. The Strachey Lectures are generously supported by OxFORD Asset Management.
