OUP has been advancing knowledge and learning since our origins in the sixteenth century, producing high-quality materials and services for learners and researchers around the world. Whether it’s a researcher in a lab working on a vaccine, or a child learning to read their first words, learning changes lives, and we’re here to drive that change. But the world is changing, and the needs of education and research are constantly evolving. We believe that the new branding embraces this and will keep OUP at the forefront of this rapidly changing industry.
We continued to evolve to make the most of new technologies—something that has accelerated in COVID times. In response to the rapid changes in customer needs from the start of the pandemic, we enhanced our platforms and made a significant number of digital resources widely available to support teaching, learning, and research globally. These included a virtual hub of COVID-19 research, which has received 30 million views to date; virtual professional development events such as the English Language Teaching Online Conference (ELTOC), which was attended by 53,000 teachers; and updates to key online education platforms such as MyMaths, to support home educators. We enable and advance knowledge and learning, and it is our mission to reach as many people in as many places as possible.
