Michaelmas Term 2025 Programme launches
Music and visual art, medical AI, politics, and the digital humanities all appear in the latest events programme for the Digital Hub. We're delighted to be working collaboration with partners from across the University and Oxford community to bring you diverse events that showcase how digital technologies and methodologies are transforming research, and enhancing creativity.
- MIXING SOUND & VISION
Thursday 6th November, 15.00-17.00, FREE
A two-hour participatory music production workshop exploring the digital technologies that musicians use to create contemporary music, and how these technologies can interact with visual art in new ways. Join experienced music practitioners, led by Oxford-based artist Rawz (Urban Music Foundation), for a hands-on demonstration of the latest music industry hardware and software, and have a go at co-producing new music. Discover how these production techniques can interact with emerging digital and visual tools, including generative AI, to create visual artworks connected to the music. This is a relaxed, informal event, and no prior knowledge of music production is required. Light refreshments provided.
- OXFORD CLINICAL AI HACKATHON & PUBLIC SHOWCASE
Monday 10th November – Thursday 13th November
4-day Hackathon - £120
Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving transformation in healthcare. It’s going to change the work we do, the outcomes we can deliver for patients, and the very shape of the workforce. Its greatest enabler will be an AI-proficient workforce that can direct these evolving health systems, and keep patients safe. We're calling on medics, and engineering, computer and life sciences researchers with a challenge: Can you build an AI to perform at the level of a Foundation Year Doctor? Bring your unique skills and perspectives to this co-creation event. Your collaboration is the key to innovation. This event is run in partnership with the Oxford Clinical AI Group.
Hackathon Public Showcase, Thursday 13th November, 16.00-17.00, FREE
