Edge Challenges is a new initiative for Oxford DPhil and Master’s students, delivered in collaboration with Oxford Science Enterprises and the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship.
From 25 February to 15 April, you’ll join a small, interdisciplinary team to work once a week on a real-world challenge shaped by external stakeholders. You’ll develop a research-informed response with impact beyond the University – whether that’s at the frontier of scientific entrepreneurship or social innovation.
'Garage' was a largely American phenomenon in the 1960s (presumably they had more garages per capita). It was 'amateur', guitar based and largely commercially unsuccessful though there was a lot of it, in every garage, so to speak.
It was mainly male, but there were also female groups such as the Pleasure Seekers (featuring a young Suzi Quatro) and The Debutantes, both from Detroit and two of the first all female rock bands, as opposed to 'girl groups' who sang but didn't play the instruments.
As part of the Pay & Conditions programme, a survey is currently underway to understand barriers and access to health, fitness and wellbeing facilities for staff. There is particular interest in hearing from colleagues who do not currently use University or college facilities, including those who are based outside of central Oxford.
The survey is open to all staff and closes on Friday 13 February.
