The Oxford Suzhou Center for Advanced Research (OSCAR) will be the University of Oxford's first overseas centre for physical science and engineering research, primarily expanding on activities from across the University's Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division.
OSCAR was established initially with a grant from Suzhou Industrial Park, where many strategic benefits are offered to Oxford's research mission through access, to state-of-the-art facilities, a research environment enriched by numerous universities and Chinese Academy Institutes, and a substantial company base.
Initial research programmes will be led by groups from the Oxford departments of Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Materials, with applications ranging from health informatics, tissue engineering and biomedical imaging techniques to environmental remediation, advanced materials and electronic devices.
