Show notes

Oxford has always been a place where ideas can shape the world. But right now the stakes have never been higher.

In season four of Oxford Plus we're asking what UK innovation really means in an age of global uncertainty, rapid technological change, and a growing need for national capability and sovereignty. This season features voices shaping that future, including Lord William Hague and Lisa Flashner alongside Founders, Researchers, and Policy makers working at the sharp edge of Science, Health, Defence and AI. From breakthrough research to industrial scale up, from global collaboration to domestic resilience, Oxford Plus explores how the UK can turn ideas into impact and ambition into advantage.

Season four of Oxford Plus. New conversations. Bigger questions. Real world outcomes.
