Communications Community of Practice
We are a vibrant community of over 500 communications professionals across Oxford University and its colleges. Formerly known as the Comms Community, this group has evolved from an informal network designed to help colleagues connect into a recognised Community of Practice (CoP) with clear priorities for advancement. It features structured groups and meet-ups based on specific specialisms or areas of interest, providing greater opportunities for collaboration and support.
More information about us can be found on the Communications CoP webpage, and our suite of resources is available via the Comms Hub.
Getting started is easy!

The Communications Community has the following associated communities.
Event Management team
The Event Management channel aims to support you in all aspects of event planning, including events that are online, in person, or a mixture of both. We encourage you to share ideas, ask for help and offer advice to fellow members.
More information can be found on our Teams site
Alternatively, please email events@admin.ox.ac.uk
Video Makers Community
A cohesive community of video makers in Oxford which aims to communicate regularly, share ideas and skills, and collaborate on common goals.
Suitable for those who make videos and audio as a significant part of their work. Friendly to, but not suitable for, those who manage fixed AV assets (eg lecture theatres, events) and those who use video in communications (eg social media managers) – but if in doubt, say hello!
Please email tom.wilkinson@admin.ox.ac.uk to find out more.
Oxford Creatives (Creative Hub)
An interconnected community of creatives in Oxford, who talk, share inspiration, ideas and skills, as well as collaborate on common goals and challenges. The Creative Hub includes print and digital designers as well as illustrators and photographers. The Creative Hub also works closely with the Oxford Video makers.
The Creative Hub aims to provide a supportive space, nurture talent and act as a knowledge centre. The Hub connect with the University's wider comms community through Creative Hub sessions and workshops run throughout the year.
If you are a creative working within any part of the collegiate University and using proven industry tools (including, but not limited to, Adobe Creative Suite), we would love to hear from you. Please email brandanddesign@admin.ox.ac.uk to find out more.
