Hosting

Taking part in event hosting and organising is enjoyable and a great way to connect with other researchers. You may want to host or co-host in an existing event series, like pub socials, or perhaps you have an idea for a new activity. OxRSS welcomes new hosts and wants to hear from you about your ideas, including suggestions of new events. Write to us at committee@oxrss.ox.ac.uk to volunteer or find out more!
