Oxford Martin School
Oxford Martin School
James Martin founded the Oxford Martin School in 2005 with the largest benefaction to the University of Oxford in its more than 900-year history. Throughout his prolific writing career—during which Martin authored over 100 textbooks, many of them seminal in their field—he foresaw the challenges that modern technology, connectivity and economics would bring. He discussed the fall of printed newspapers and the rise of 24-hour rolling news, he warned against the growing extremes of wealth and income inequality, and even anticipated the ubiquity of mobile phones, online dating and “designer” babies.
The Oxford Martin School brings together a vibrant community of scholars, drawn from across the University of Oxford. The academics work across more than 30 solutions-focused, pioneering research programmes that cut across disciplines to find solutions to the world's most urgent challenges. From renewable energy to ocean sustainability, and from the future of work to tackling inequality, the research tackles issues of global significance.
The Nature Conservancy, Citi and The Rockefeller Foundation are among the school's active partners.
