In 2026, the Oxford Internet Institute marks its 25th anniversary. We warmly invite staff, students, alumni and guests to join us to celebrate this milestone at a programme of events throughout the year. Alongside these events, we will share perspectives from our alumni community, and recognise the influence of our research from the past quarter century.
Founded in 2001, the OII was one of the first centres in the world dedicated to studying the impacts of the internet on society. From the outset, we took a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together diverse perspectives to advance understanding of life online.
Since then, our work has evolved alongside a rapidly changing digital world. And today, our research and teaching explore the opportunities and challenges posed by transformative innovations such as AI, machine learning, digital platforms, and autonomous agents.
Celebrate 25 years of the OII with us at a garden party. Staff, students, alumni, and distinguished guests are invited to enjoy an afternoon of stories from the OII’s founders, a BBQ, an ice cream station, and Pimms.
Registration open, please refer to your invitation to sign up.
OII Alumni are invited to join us in September for an opportunity to network with fellow alumni over fairground games, food and drinks.
Registration open, please refer to your invitation to sign up.
Join us in London for a special lecture from the Oxford Internet Institute. We’ll explore the latest insights on the digital world and its societal impact.
Full details and registration information will be announced soon.
