Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment is built on the unique proposition of creating a world-class interdisciplinary research and teaching hub that draws together the best academic minds across Oxford University and from around the world to help enterprise address the threats and opportunities that arise from the environmental challenges we face. The Smith School promotes partnership between public and private enterprise, leading scientists, academics, public policy makers and organisations which serve civil society in order to find optimal solutions to issues such as climate change, energy supply, water shortage, waste management and, of course, the transition from current to more sustainable practices.
