The Clarendon Gates conference will promote interdisciplinary discussions that highlight the value of diverse academic perspectives, creating a platform where scholars from different backgrounds can share their research and experience. Oxbridge has been a hub of knowledge creation for centuries, and we aim to strengthen connections between Oxford Clarendon and Gates Cambridge scholars by celebrating the diverse backgrounds and interests of our scholars with the goal of fostering communication and collaborations.
Our theme is Celebrating Academic Diversity! The conference will feature cross-disciplinary talks from our scholars, as well as insights into the career and academic paths of our alumni and key-stakeholder within Oxford and Cambridge Academia. Further, we will host a plenary discussion and interactive workshops. We will get to celebrate and learn together. In the evening, all conference attendees are invited to join our Formal Conference Dinner.
The event will be held in the Martin Wood Complex of the Oxford University Physics department on Saturday, 17th May 2025, 9 AM - 5 PM. The formal will be hosted at St. Anne’s College, starting at 7 PM.
