Please note this event will run from 10:00 to 14:30 Brazil time.

What can Brazil learn from other countries, and what can other countries learn from Brazil?

These are the questions that the Lemann Foundation Programme for the Public Sector explores from the point of view of the people and organisations who compose the public sector, as well as those that engage with it.

Join us for the launch of the Lemann Foundation Programme for the Public Sector where we will hear from experts on Brazil, glean insights into Oxford's cutting edge COVID-19 research, and discuss common problems in public sector operations and methods for addressing these pitfalls. 

Please note this is a hybrid event, so attendees must specify if they will join in person or online.

The event will also be livestreamed on our YouTube channel.

Updated COVID-19 guidelines

Due to a rising number of COVID-19 cases within the School community, we have decided to put extra cautionary measures to keep everyone safe.

All attendees will be required to provide evidence of COVID-19 status on arrival to the event via either of the following: proof of full vaccination (such as an NHS QR code), or registration of a negative lateral flow device test taken in the last 48 hours.

To register your negative lateral flow device test, please visit https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result. After completing the registration process, you will be sent an email and/or a text with confirmation of your result which you must show us on arrival.

Please note that unfortunately we will have to refrain from serving drinks and appetizers after the second panel but will be happy to spend that time meeting you all.
