In Professor Irene Tracey’s admission speech as Oxford’s new Vice-Chancellor in January 2023, she highlighted the need to better coordinate, strengthen and deepen the relationships between the city, county and the University to help deliver this commitment.
The Vice-Chancellor also emphasised that Oxford should use its world-leading expertise to improve the local environment, playing a more significant part in positively shaping the evolution of the local area. This goes alongside continuing to build a vocal national role in shaping our country and delivering creative solutions to address major global challenges.
