Departmental events throughout the year

The department hosts a number of social events throughout the year and you are also encouraged to attend the NDS Away Day and any other University events that may be of interest - a selection are listed below. 

Individual event details can be found on the NDS events pages and Oxford Talks for the most up-to-date information and organisers can be contacted via the email address provided with any questions. 

Our annual NDS Away Day, is usually held at one of the Oxford colleges and it comprises of a series of talks from Principal Investigators and researchers, giving an overview of their research. It also gives our Head of Department, Professor Freddie Hamdy the opportunity to provide an outline of not only the key successes over the past year, but also future plans for the development of the department.

Twice a year the Head of Department holds a Q&A session to which all staff are welcome, which enables an open discussion to have your questions or queries (whether anonymously or not) answered in a timely fashion.

We’ve compiled the questions and answers from the most recent Q&A sessions into a FAQ page (SSO required).

We hold an annual summer event every year, and the location can vary depending on how creative our Events Committee (SSO required) are feeling year on year. This is offered to all members of the department, and gives our staff members the chance to build a sense of togetherness within the department and a perfect opportunity to socialise and network in a relaxed setting.

The whole department is invited to attend our annual Winter Social, not only to celebrate the festive activities but also to toast closing off a wonderful year, and welcoming the comings of a fresh start with the New Year incoming.

The Events Committee pride themselves on ensuring there are a variety of social events throughout the year, which all members of the department are welcome to. Events can include; charity bakes sales, quiz nights, walks in nature reserves and many, many more!

Open to all staff who work at the University of Oxford, in particular in administrative and support roles, the UAS Professional Services Conference provide further information on the University's administrative functions.

University events are open to everyone, and include regular high-profile events, Black History Month, open forums on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, International Women’s Day events, and the annual LGBT+ History Month lecture. You are also invited to join ‘A conversation with the Vice Chancellor’. This is an opportunity to put questions to Professor Irene Tracey about what matters to you, and for an informal discussion on the current challenges facing the University. Events are advertised in the University Bulletin and on Oxford Talks.
