What’s happening
All Oxford research staff are welcome to take part in OxRSS events!
Upcoming Events
Board games night on some Tuesdays, via Zoom or in person at Thirsty Meeples Cafe
All are welcome to join us! We will be using the website Board Games Arena (https://en.boardgamearena.com/) to play the games via Zoom. You will need to register with Board Games Arena, which is free. It will be much easier if you set up a login with the site before the meeting. The Zoom call will start at 7.00pm. Once we see how many people are interested, we will decide how many games we will run simultaneously (some online games are limited to 6 or 7 players per game). For the Zoom link or any questions, please contact Frederic: frederic.dreyer@physics.ox.ac.uk or Mike: Michael.morrison@law.ox.ac.uk
Writing Boot Camp - via Zoom
Would you like to get ahead on your writing while you work at home? Is there an article, book chapter or grant proposal you need to work on? How about doing it with the support and structure of a group writing session! In these afternoon sessions, we create a good environment for you to concentrate on one of your writing challenges. For dates and times, Zoom links and any questions, please contact Gemma: gemma.hughes@phc.ox.ac.uk
Pub Socials: Thursdays in person (currently suspended due to Covid-19 restrictions)
Please join us on Thursdays for some mingling – we are looking forward to meeting you! For any questions, please email Caroline: caroline.korell@education.ox.ac.uk
Virtual Coffee meet-ups run by the Oxford University Newcomers Club
We are happy to join forces with the Oxford University Newcomers’ Club and to forward their invitation to the virtual coffee sessions they hold on Wednesday mornings at 10:30. If you are worried about joining for the first time, or if there is anything we can do to make your experience more comfortable, please let us know. If you or your family members would like to attend, please email: newcomers@ox.ac.uk
