Presented in partnership with IF Oxford, the Oxford Science + Ideas Festival.

What matters may change with circumstances, but long-term priorities and motivations can lay a clear pathway or take you into the unknown.
Join a panel of speakers for a thought-provoking discussion about the values, motivations, and experiences that help shape personal and professional lives. Our speakers will share candid insights into what drives them, the challenges they’ve faced, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

We invite you to add your thoughts to a discussion prompted by examples from science and medicine to economics, civil service, and community work. In turbulent times why not share perspectives and explore what drives us collectively towards a better future?
