40 years of encouraging the pursuit of science

The Oxford Trust is an independent charitable trust set up in 1985 by Sir Martin and Lady Audrey Wood, co-founders of the University of Oxford’s first spinout, Oxford Instruments. Our mission is simple: to encourage the pursuit of science.

For the last 40 years, we’ve been at the forefront of innovation in Oxfordshire. Our innovation centres serve as hubs for cutting-edge research and development, offering science and tech start-ups the space and support they need to grow and succeed.

We are proud to reinvest the income from these centres into our STEM education and engagement programmes, which aim to build the foundations of science learning and inspire the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs.

Testimonials

A young girl looks into a tube
It was one of the best family days we’ve had. The children were totally absorbed with so much to explore and to learn. The highlight was meeting a real scientist at the Live Lab and getting to ask questions.

Family Day visits to the Science Oxford Centre

A woman seated at a table uses a plastic bag and string to build something.
As the science lead, I have attended a lot of CPD at Science Oxford over the last two years, which has been invaluable to our school. Science has gone from being undervalued to high on the school agenda. The children now often say it’s their favourite subject.

I felt that all parts of the STEM Insight Week were incredible and useful, and not only did I find them invaluable in improving my skills, knowledge and awareness of all areas covered but I found them enjoyable too.

STEM Careers Programme for secondary schools

A group of children and a teacher pose for camera and lift their arms and cheer in front of a building with Science Oxford Centre logo behind.
The child-led investigations are great at engaging children in science. It is always interesting to see what ideas they come up with. The event has really helped raise the prominence of science at school.

Teacher, Standlake CofE Primary School

Big Science Event

A group of primary school children look at the illuminated celling as part of a planetarium show.
The children took off into space to explore the solar system from the comfort of school. They heard stories of the stars, visited planets and even saw the International Space Station. After plenty of questions and discussion, they made a safe landing back on earth. All thanks to Science Oxford. A brilliant day!

Workshops and shows in primary schools

A girl, smiling, leans over a table blowing air up from below. Her long hair blows in the wind.
Visiting the Science Oxford Centre for all year groups has been a fantastic boost to our children – they enjoy the trips, it gets them excited by science and they get to explore science in a fun, interactive way.
