The Oxford Trust is an independent charitable trust that was established in 1985. Its mission is to encourage the pursuit of science, placing science and enterprise at the heart of culture in the Oxford region. The Trust aims to facilitate growth in science and tech companies and enable everyone – irrespective of age or background – to develop their scientific and technological understanding.
The Trust believes that science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) holds the solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges. Its strategy is to continue creating an environment, through its two sector-leading innovation centres, where STEM-based entrepreneurs can develop ground-breaking products and services and where young people, supported by teachers and families, can experience stimulating STEM learning that develops their understanding, skills, and aspirations. It does this through two key initiatives: innovation infrastructure and support delivered through its city-based Oxford Centre for Innovation, its Headington-based Wood Centre for Innovation and via its renowned Science Oxford branded education and public engagement programmes.
