Focus groups

A number of focus groups are planned in late April and early May. These small-group discussion forums, which will be led by Professor Lionel Tarassenko and Professor E.J. Milner-Gulland, are designed to help inform the academic blueprint for the college by canvassing opinion about what a community of scholars should look like in the 21st century.

The forums are open to all interested members of the collegiate University, but the participation of graduate students, final year undergraduates, post-docs and RSIVs would be particularly welcomed.

The dates of the focus groups will be published on this website shortly. If you would like to be notified of the dates, please email events@admin.ox.ac.uk.
