Peter Todd will talk about visualising multidimensional data. Biological data is messy — especially when it’s spatial. Large multi-channel images, point clouds, segmentation geometry, and tables (with associated sparse expression matrices) all need to work together in ways that support robustness and reproducibility. In this talk, I’ll introduce the emerging SpatialData standard, built around a Zarr-based container. This organises chunked N-dimensional arrays alongside tabular and geometric dat
Oxford Humanists: a Humanists UK Local Group
All ages
The Next Crisis What does the future look like to most people and what we can do about it? In this talk, Danny Dorling explores what polling data tells us about people’s concerns and how global crises are often very different from what we see represented by the headlines. The cost of living, inequality, poverty and unemployment tend to rank highly. Not so much, if you look carefully: immigration and climate change. Each year there are new issues - in 2025 its was “disinformation”, this year its the new conflict in the Middle East. Dorling explores our main concerns about the world in order of urgency and central to humanist values — equality, social justice, and the well-being of communities. What the cost of living shows us about inequality, and how the connection between employment and immigration is used to stir up insecurity. Why we are frightened by distant wars. How corruption corrodes care. What we should really be worried about when it comes to climate change — including what the scientists get wrong about people's fears. And finally, how the great 'unknown unknowns' dictate the way we think about the future and what we should be less afraid of: pandemics, asteroids, tsunamis, even each other. In his book, The Next Crisis, Danny aims to try to help us identify where the greatest threats are actually coming from and how we can tackle them. Our Speaker: Danny Dorling is the 1971 Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford. He grew up in Oxford and works mainly on issues of social inequality and how they interact with geography, politics and demography. About Oxford Humanists: The Oxford Humanists Local Group has a goal to bring non-religious people together to be happier, more fulfilled and to act as a force for good in our community. We have a growing social group and are keen to build upon this and support a full programme of social and educational events over the coming year. If you're keen
Social Sport Oxford

Who are Social Sport? Social Sport was set up to face two main challenges in cities like Oxford: Limited opportunities for those moving here to meet new people and socialise genuinely. Lack of casual sports clubs for young professionals. We started with our New Sport Every Week session, voted for by people in our community. Since then, we have played over 21 different sports, and we play weekly sports too, which are set up based on feedback from those who join our events! Please note this session is popular and has a set number of places. If you do not secure your place prior to attending, and the event is full, you will not be able to play.
Money Mindset
Tue
The rules have changed. The Financial plan used to be easy. Finish University debt free, waltz into a job for life, buy an affordable house and retire with a guaranteed income for life. We are getting next to nothing in savings from the bank, don't have the time or quality information to invest and the retirement cliff edge of pensioner poverty is fast approaching. I help to solve these problems. I am looking to build a community about learning better financial guidance principles We believe that investing should be accessible for the many rather than a privileged few. Money Tipps empower you to make your own choices with your money rather than charging you for financial advice, which means we save you £1000s. Neil Doig is the author of the book Millennial Money Mindset: If you want the fruits you need the roots, which was shortlisted by the Financial Times Bracken Bower Prize. Neil is the Founder of Money Tipps, an Edtech and money coaching company. We believe in better education, money coaching and empowering you to make better money decisions. We all want something better in life. Maybe that is more time in your day, more money in your pocket or less stress in your life. Let us help you to achieve it!
Climate Café
Sun
In a nutshell Climate cafés are an incredibly simple idea. They’re opportunities to meet with facilitators and talk about our thoughts and feelings on climate change. The organisers provide a space, facilitators, and some cake; you arrive at the start time (good to be prompt if you can), get yourself a hot drink and join in. You can come to one Climate Café or several. Everyone is welcome. There’s no charge. At a climate café the organisers won’t be giving out any information or expecting you to change your lifestyle or opinions, or do anything except listen and talk with each other. Why climate cafés? It can be difficult to talk about climate change with friends and family, and climate cafés are designed to provide a space to do just that - with no pressure, no debate and no judgement. What’s the background? Climate cafés in Oxford originated with Low Carbon Oxford North and they are now run and hosted across the UK and elsewhere, with facilitator training provided by the Climate Psychology Alliance. Stay in touch You can follow us on Instagram and Facebook as well as joining this group.

Les Expatriés Francophones d’Oxford
Thu
Ami(e) francophone de la région d'Oxford, sois le (la) bienvenu(e) ! Que tu sois fraîchement arrivé(e) dans la région, que tu aies envie de (re)nouer des liens avec des francophones, ou que tu aies simplement tapé "Expatriés" et "Oxford" dans Google, ce groupe est celui qu'il te faut ! Quels que soient ton âge, ta situation professionnelle, ton niveau d'anglais, tes goûts ou la durée de ton séjour, il y a de la place pour tout le monde. C'est le lieu idéal pour faire connaissance, nouer des amitiés, échanger des astuces d'expatriés, découvrir Oxford et l'Oxfordshire, râler sur l'absence cruelle de bons pains et de bonne charcuterie, etc. Nous nous rencontrons à diverses occasions, et particulièrement chaque premier mardi du mois, autour d'un verre (ou de plusieurs...) dans notre pub attitré de Cowley Road en toute simplicité. C'est l'occasion de se détendre, de faire d'autres connaissances et pour les réguliers et anciens d'accueillir les nouveaux venus, le tout en français. L'ambiance est détendue et informelle, n'hésitez pas ! Chaque membre a eu sa première fois. A très bientôt ! Philippe Ce groupe n'est pas un groupe pour apprendre le français, il demande une maîtrise courante de la langue, merci !
Oxford International Social Hub
Oxford International Social Hub
Wed
Welcome to the Oxford International Social Hub! We are a friendly, open group in Oxford dedicated to bringing together people from all cultures, backgrounds, and walks of life in a relaxed, welcoming environment. What we do: Bi-weekly social meet-ups and spontaneous hangouts. Cultural and language exchanges where you can learn from others and share your own languages & cultures. * Fun, casual events around the town. Coming along? No worries at all! Our hosts will be there to greet you at the door, help you settle in, and introduce you to some fantastic people right way. Come along and let's make some connections! We can't wait to meet you! Note: The group's goal is intended for making friends and socializing, not for dating. Please respect everyone's boundaries, and if anything makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please contact the host immediately!
Ladies of Oxford who are Fabulously over 40
Wed
Hello - if you’re living in Oxford and fancy growing your social circle, get in touch! Over 40- or there abouts - make new female friends, great chat & support, and the opportunity to try new places to eat. No agendas, just a group that can be what you need it to be. If that’s dipping in and out, being a regular part of the organising, or a place that you can escape to for some ‘you’ space. If you feel more comfortable meeting on a one to one before - to be introduced and not walk into a group alone - then there are all sorts of options. This can be however and whatever it needs to be, to work and include everyone. There will always be a friendly face, a drink (coffee, tea or a glass of the good stuff) and a very warm welcome! It's sometimes hard to beg places to hold us all - especially when there are SO many of us - so making sure I don't mess venues around with numbers, is really important. For as you can guess, dealing with 20 or so ladies all wanting to order and pay individually for coffee, tea, wine, food possibly, isn't always very alluring to places! So change your RSVP to 'not attending' please, if you can't come! It's easy to do on your phone, tablet, PC etc - Thank you!
Magic Moments With Birds
Wed
Magic Moments With Birds offers dedicated birdwatching outings for those who want to discover more of the superb birdlife of our area and beyond. Whilst based in Oxfordshire and covering many of the best local birdwatching sites, we also aim to go further afield and some of our trips will entail day or half-day excursions. Occasionally I lead birdwatching breaks in other parts of the country, and I offer places to members of this group on these. At the end of our time together my aim is that you leave with memories of an exceptional encounter with nature and a desire to discover more about our wonderful birdlife. Anyone is welcome to join, although the excursions are aimed at the beginner/intermediate level rather than at the expert. It will be helpful if you're able to bring your own binoculars (a spare pair may sometimes be available). At some Meetups if you have a telescope it would be useful to bring it, although I will have one with me. Sometimes you will also be asked to bring your own packed lunch, and bringing something to drink is always advised. Meetup fees will vary according to the outing grade: GRADE 1 \- usually a shorter time and distance\, often local \(£7.50 minimum donation). GRADE 2 \- sometimes a longer time and usually a further distance away from Oxford \(£10). There is also a SELECT BIRDWATCHING group option, where numbers will be limited in order to give participants a more focussed birdwatching experience. These will be marked as GRADE 2\* (£10). Occasionally short breaks away will be a different fee. When booking please make sure that you are DEFINITELY ABLE to make the trip; unmet fees will be liable if I am unable to fill your place on the event. Payment is by Bank Transfer when booking \- details are posted on each event page\. \(If this method is a problem for you please private message Andrew \(group organiser\) beforehand\)\. You will need to arrange your own transport to get to the Meet
BMW Club Oxford Motorcycle Riders
Wed
Are you a BMW motorcycle owner living in the Oxford area? Are you interested in riding more, especially during the week? Are you interested in meeting other BMW motorcycle owners and finding out more about BMW motorcycles? Well, we may have something for you with our ‘BMW Club Oxford Motorcycle Riders’ Meetup group. This is a new initiative organised by the BMW Club Oxford with the aim of supporting Thames Valley Air Ambulance (TVAA). The group is open to any BMW motorcycle owners, you don’t need to be a BMW Club member (although we hope you will be able to join the club after 2-3 rides to take advantage of all the other benefits!) - just join the Meetup group and then come along to one of the rides or events. Pillions and riders are very welcome to attend any of the events. We will mostly be doing mid-week rides led by experienced riders with a couple of hours riding and a stop for food. The numbers on each ride will be limited to about 12 so that we can ensure the quality of the event. We may organise some events during the year, these are likely to be a ‘ride in’ format so we can open them to more riders. Thames Valley Air Ambulance provides a life-saving rescue service to motorcyclists and others. If you feel moved to make an entirely voluntary donation of £2 towards their survival, there will be an opportunity to do so. You should not treat the aforementioned as an obligation to make a donation to this wonderful emergency service During rides, subject to numbers, we will use the Drop-Off (sometimes called the Corner-Man or 2nd man drop-off) system to mark changes of direction. Please view : ( ). The Drop-Off system is very reliable but for small groups we may use the Buddy System where r
