Miles Morland set up Blakeney Management in 1990, first as a consultancy and, since 1994, as an asset management firm, investing in Africa and the Middle East. Blakeney was the first investor in many African markets and Mr Morland played an active role in the development of markets in countries such as Ghana, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya and Tunisia. In July 2006 he became non-executive Chairman of Blakeney by which time the firm was considered to be the largest portfolio investor in many African stock markets. In 2007 he set up and became founding Chairman of DPI as a Private Equity firm to invest across Africa but with a particular emphasis on the continent's post-conflict and newly liberalising countries. DPI is now one of the leading Private Equity firms in Africa with over ten highly experienced African private equity professionals. Before starting Blakeney Mr Morland spent 22 years in money management and investment banking in London and Wall Street. From 1982 to 1989 he was head of First Boston's London office. Mr Morland is or has been recently a director or chairman of various emerging market funds; on the boards of SW Energy, an Ethiopian oil exploration company; SABMiller, the world's second largest brewer; and the Dubai Group, the financial investment arm of the Ruler of Dubai.

Three researchers from the University of Oxford cover the topics oceans and the impact of climate change, understanding ocean ecology and how to generate energy from the tides. All life comes out of the ocean and is connected with the ocean. Over 70 per cent of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans earning planet earth the nick name the blue planet. Life within the sea evolved 3 billion years prior to life on land, yet much of the its ecology and life therein remains unexplored and hitherto poorly understood. Oceans also have a significant effect on the biosphere. Oceanic evaporation is the source of most rainfall, and ocean temperatures determine climate and wind patterns on land. In economic terms the seas are essential to transportation, energy production and provide a significant percentage of the world's protein. Yet, they are not limitless and many problems, such as overexploitation and pollution, have brought some marine ecosystems close to collapse. http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/tag:2010-06-08:143528:673:manstud/entrepreneurship-audi http://mediastore1.sbs.ox.ac.uk/OXCEI/240510_OCEANS.mp3 This Oxford at Said seminar was dedicated to the subject of oceans.

Among the traditional media, blogs and other contributions to citizen journalism have for a long time been regarded as posing a significant threat to quality news reporting, whilst the global recession has shown that the threatened failure of high quality local and regional media outlets was not a groundless fear. Whilst some of the most successful social media sites are professional media productions such as CNNs Twitter news feed and the Huffington Post, many critics of social media now fear that the collapse of traditional business models will see a real decline in the depth and quality of news reporting, particularly at the local level. On the other hand, blogs and social media are seen as potentially democratising the production of news, enabling fast, first-hand reporting often in areas where traditional media face political or practical restrictions. This panel session will consider whether social media necessarily threaten traditional news media, and what, if anything they may have to offer in return. http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/tag:2009-10-30:115206:035:manstud/entrepreneurship-audi http://mediastore1.sbs.ox.ac.uk/OXCEI/180909_1130_RTLT_Parallel_Session_Breaking_News.mp3 Panel discussion during the Oxford Social Media Convention 2008 on whether social media necessarily threaten traditional news media, and what, if anything they may have to offer in return. Panel discussion during the Oxford Social Media Convention 2008 on whether social media necessarily threaten traditional news media, and what, if anything they may have to offer in return. Among the traditional media, blogs and other contributions to citizen journalism have for a long time been regarded as posing a significant threat to quality news reporting, whilst the global recession has shown that the threatened failure of high quality local and regional media outlets was not a groundless fear. Whilst some of the most successful social media sites are professional media productions such as CNNs Twitter news feed and the Huffington Post, many critics of social media now fear that the collapse of traditional business models will see a real decline in the depth and quality of news reporting, particularly at the local level. On the other hand, blogs and social media are seen as potentially democratising the production of news, enabling fast, first-hand reporting often in areas where traditional media face political or practical restrictions.

Journals and peer-reviewed publications are still the most widely used channels through which research is disseminated within the scientific community and to a broader audience. However, social media are increasingly challenging the supremacy of editors, reviewers and science communicators. Blogging about science has become a new way of engaging the public directly with researchers whilst researchers are increasingly using blogs within their own academic communities for peer-review purposes. Panellists will give their perspective on how social media have changed the nature of the scientific debate among scientists, and how they have impacted on engagement with the public understanding of science. http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/tag:2009-10-30:110015:610:manstud/entrepreneurship-audi http://mediastore1.sbs.ox.ac.uk/OXCEI/180909_1130_NMLT_Parallel_Session_Making_Science_Public.mp3 Panel discussion on how social media have changed the nature of the scientific debate among scientists, and how they have impacted on engagement with the public understanding of science.

Three researchers from the University of Oxford give insights into recent advances in the field of cancer cell biology, therapy and epidemiology. One in three people develop cancer, and one in five in Europe and North America die of the disease. Although environmental and lifestyle factors, for example smoking or sun exposure, affect the incidence of some cancer types, all human populations and many types of animal suffer from this disease. So, where do we currently stand in understanding the biology of cancer and how do we translate these findings into effective diagnostics and treatment?
