The University of Oxford’s Beyond Boundaries project, founded in 2018, aims to increase the visibility of Oxford’s Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic scientists and mathematicians, bridge the perceived divide between science and art, and further connect schools and local communities with the University. It’s all about encouraging school children to engage with science and art in fun and creative ways. Find out more about the Beyond Boundaries project here: ‘About the project‘.
