Oxford Martin School

'Humanity stands at a crossroads; the sheer speed of change across sectors and systems, including technology, population, health and climate, means that we now have the power to destroy possibilities for future generations. Equally, we have the potential to dramatically improve the wellbeing of people across the planet ... It is this combination of urgency and optimism that characterises all our work at the Oxford Martin School ... In 2005 our founder James Martin made the largest donation to the University of Oxford in its history to set up a school to study the major challenges of the 21st Century.'
