At Oxford University’s SKOPE, we aim to connect education, skills, and economic futures.
Our cutting-edge research examines how the evolving dynamics of skills supply and demand shape productivity, economic growth, and social justice in today’s labour market. This shows that to tackle today’s biggest challenges, from climate transition to labour market disruption through AI, we must rethink and reform how education and skills systems are designed, governed, and delivered.
Drawing on a network of over 100 leading researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, we combine academic rigour, multidisciplinary research, and policy insights to drive system-level change:
- Support fair and inclusive access at all levels of E&T
- Address real individual, industrial, economic, environmental, and social needs
- Improve productivity and organisational performance in the education and training industry, and the economy
- Enable joined-up policymaking across E&T, skills, and innovation
