The Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT) is a scientific research institute founded by Larry Ellison that operates from Oxford. It focuses on combining fundamental research with practical solutions to address major global challenges across four key areas: health and medical science, food security and sustainable agriculture, climate change, and artificial intelligence and robotics. The institute works across traditional disciplinary boundaries to bridge the gap between discovery and application.
EIT's technical work spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, genomics, and engineering. The institute collaborates with partners including Oracle and involves pioneering scientists such as Sir John Bell. Its approach integrates deep scientific inquiry with the development of tangible technologies and interventions aimed at large-scale problems.
Beyond its core research, EIT runs the Ellison Scholars program, which fully funds exceptional students at Oxford University to develop the next generation of scientific leaders. The institute's presence is centred in Oxford, placing it within a major global hub for scientific research and innovation.
