Childcare Services will host a Returning Carers' Workshop on Wednesday 20 November at 10.30am. This online event is available to staff across the University, with a particular focus on those returning to work following a period or periods of maternity leave, paternity leave, adoption leave or parental leave. The goal is to provide recent returners with the information, tools, support and networks they need to ensure a smooth and successful return to work.

Featuring over 20 cultural events throughout October and November, many of which offer concessions tickets for students and those aged 25 and under and some are free to attend, Adventures in Consciousness is an inspiring season that explores consciousness and what it means to be human. 

Why not sign up and get your bearings round the streets of Oxford, its departments and its colleges, eight of which have never featured before. The various courses will begin in the University Parks.

The University of Oxford Open Access Publications Policy, and University Statute XVI which covers intellectual property rights, have now been updated to incorporate rights retention. This re-affirms the University’s preference for the green or self-archiving route to open access.   

Rights retention allows authors to retain the rights to their work, rather than signing these over to a publisher. This means authors can share and reuse their work without having to seek the publisher’s permission.

There are always masses of talks, events and exhibitions across the University, so if you haven't ever checked out the University listing:
