About OPEN
OPEN is a growing network of more than 1,000 researchers, doctoral students and professional services staff at the University of Oxford who share a vision of public policy powered by the world’s best available research evidence and expertise. Our mission is to equip ourselves and each other to share knowledge and expertise with the policymaking community so that, together, we can contribute to better policies that protect what is valuable and change the world for the better. To this end, OPEN connects researchers across the University with opportunities to engage with the policymaking community locally, nationally and internationally.
