Oxford Round Table ​

About Us

​

Celebrating 37 years!!

 

Founded in 1989 at St Peter’s College, Oxford, the Oxford Round Table Symposiums have, for more than three decades, convened rigorous international dialogue on pressing issues in education and public life.

​

Over the years, the symposiums have explored a broad range of themes, including education law, public policy, finance, sustainability, and early childhood education, reflecting the evolving challenges facing educational systems worldwide.

​

The programmes consistently attract scholars and practitioners from across the globe, fostering a genuinely international and inclusive academic community committed to thoughtful exchange and interdisciplinary perspectives.

​

Past sessions have received support from organisations such as the British Council, the former British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Rockefeller Foundation, Apple Computer, Boeing, and the Bernard van Leer Foundation of The Hague.

 

In recent years, the Oxford Round Table has also expanded to include curated travel programmes and student-focused initiatives, extending its academic mission beyond the conference setting.

Academic Conferences

The Oxford Round Table Academic Conferences bring together international scholars and practitioners in Oxford for rigorous, interdisciplinary dialogue on education, policy, law, and society.

Grounded in Oxford’s intellectual traditions, the conferences offer a collegial forum for critical inquiry, research exchange, and engagement with global ideas in one of the world’s most historic academic settings.

 

Immersive Travel Adventures

The Oxford Round Table Travel Adventures are curated programmes that explore Oxford’s history, culture, and intellectual traditions through immersive, place-based experiences. Adventures such as Oxford Winter Wonderland, Oxford Midsummer Nights, and Testaments of Time combine guided exploration and thematic discussion within historic settings, inviting intellectually curious travellers to engage with Oxford beyond conventional tourism.

Student Experiences

Oxford: The University Experience offers structured, immersive programmes designed specifically for students to engage with Oxford’s academic traditions, history, and intellectual life. Through guided study sessions, thematic exploration, and residence within historic settings, the programme provides students with a meaningful introduction to university-level inquiry and the cultural context of one of the world’s most influential centres of learning.

Corporate Retreats

The Oxford Round Table Corporate Retreats offer thoughtfully structured experiences for organisations seeking reflection, strategic dialogue, and renewal within Oxford’s historic academic setting. Designed to encourage focused discussions, intellectual exchanges, and perspectives beyond the day-to-day, these retreats combine facilitated sessions, guided exploration, and shared meals in medieval dining halls, providing leaders and teams with the space to think, engage, and plan within one of the walls of the world’s most famous centres of learning.

Alumni Engagements

A specially curated Oxford-based programme for alumni of the Oxford Round Table, designed to bring former participants together for continued dialogue, reflection, and connection. Held within the historic academic setting of Oxford, the programme offers alumni the opportunity to revisit shared intellectual interests, engage with new perspectives, and renew professional and scholarly relationships within a familiar and meaningful context.
