2025 Clarendon-Gates Conference

Celebrating Academic Diversity


The Inaugural 2025 Clarendon-Gates Conference was held in on Saturday, May 17th 2025 in the Martin Wood Complex of the Oxford University Physics department. It sought to promote pro 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 aimed 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, “Celebrating Academic Diversity,” was demonstrated through the diverse talks from scholars, alumni, and invited guests.
