Happy Year of the Tiger！ 牛津大学年末亮点回顾！

2021年11月，阿斯利康及其合作伙伴向全球的170多个国家提供了20亿剂牛津COVID-19疫苗。牛津大学发明的简单制造方法使其能够在全球许多国家迅速扩大疫苗制造规模。这种新方法与阿斯利康的全球布局和抗疫承诺相结合，使疫苗能在15个国家生产，在七大洲的170多个国家使用。其中约有三分之二用于低收入和中低收入国家，包括通过新冠肺炎疫苗实施计划的设施向130个国家提供了超过1.7亿剂。

回顾视频，听听创造疫苗的牛津大学的科学家们分享这一刻的感受。

In November 2021,  AstraZeneca and its partners have supplied two billion doses of Oxford COVID-19 vaccine to more than 170 countries across the world. Oxford’s invention of simple manufacturing method has enabled rapid scale up of vaccine manufacturing in many countries around the world. The combination of this new approach with AstraZeneca’s global footprint and commitment have enabled the vaccine being made in 15 countries, in use in over 170 countries across seven continents. Approximately two-thirds of these have gone to low- and lower-middle-income countries, including more than 170 million doses delivered to 130 countries through the COVAX Facility.

在泰晤士报高等教育公布的2022年世界大学排名中，牛津大学连续第六年保持榜首，令人印象深刻。在被持续的Covid-19疫情主宰的一年里，这一排名反映了大学在理解和管理危机上所扮演的重要角色，全球各地都有不少高校的论文引用分数，因为针对Covid-19的研究得到大幅提升。

2021年5月，牛津大学第四年发表本科生录取报告，报告显示，Covid-19全球疫情并没有影响大学持续推进本科的入学公平。 该报告显示： 

• 来自英国公立学校的新生比例上升到创纪录的68.6% 

• 来自黑人和少数族裔（BME）的新生比例上升到23.6% 

• 来自社会经济落后地区的新生比例目前为15.9%

• 来自低大学升学率社区的新生比例为15.6% 

• 在过去五年中，申报残疾的学生比例从7.2%增长到10.4% 

• 相较男性，牛津大学继续吸引录取更多的女性（54.2%） 

教育界曾普遍担心，去年A-level成绩的授予方法可能对来自代表性不足背景的年轻人产生负面影响，特别是那些受到疫情危机不利影响的人。然而，牛津这所书院制大学努力给那些受影响的学生提供支持，让流程尽可能灵活，以确保最优秀的申请者被录取，特别是那些在大学里代表性不足的学生群体。最新的努力包括在"机遇牛津 "桥接计划所提供的在线学术支持人群中增加300个名额，这是针对来自最弱势背景学生的支持项目。这一举措，将使该计划支持的学生人数在短短两年内从最初的116人增加到近500人。

In May 2021, Oxford’s published the 4th undergraduate admissions report showing the Covid-19 pandemic has not affected the University’s continued progress to widening access for undergraduate students. The report shows: 

• The proportion of incoming students from state schools rose to a record 68.6%. 

• The proportion of incoming students identifying as Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) rose to 23.6%. 

• The proportion of incoming students from socio-economically disadvantaged areas now stands at 15.9%. 

• The proportion of incoming students from areas of low progression to higher education is 15.6% 

• The proportion of students declaring a disability has grown from 7.2% to 10.4% in the last five years 

• The University continues to attract more women than men (54.2%) 

There was concern across the sector that the method chosen to award A-level grades last year might negatively impact young people from under-represented backgrounds, particularly those who had been adversely affected by the pandemic crisis. However, the collegiate University worked to support students affected, being as flexible as possible, ensuring that the most talented applicants were accepted, especially those who are under-represented at the University. Most recently, these plans include adding 300 places to benefit from the online academic support offered by the Opportunity Oxford bridging scheme, for students from the most disadvantaged backgrounds. This will take the number of students it supports from an initial 116 to almost 500 in just two years.

Former United States First Lady and Secretary of State, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and the award-winning author, Jeanette Winterson CBE, were among the six recipients of honorary degrees at Oxford University’s Encaenia ceremony today (22 September 2021).              They received their accolades at the University’s Sheldonian Theatre, alongside: Professor Linda Colley CBE, award-winning professor of History; Professor Dame Sally Davies, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge and former Chief Medical Officer for England; Professor Anna Deavere Smith, Professor at New York University Tisch School of the Arts and award-winning actress, playwright, teacher and author; and Baroness Ruth Lister CBE, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy at Loughborough University.

也许今年牛津大学整体影响最显着的指标，来自伦敦经济咨询公司七月发布的一份报告。该报告估计牛津大学2018-19年的活动对英国经济的总体贡献为157亿英镑，其中40%的经济影响在英国东南部以外的地区产生。这个数字表明，在牛津每投资1英镑，研究和创新就会为英国经济带来超过10英镑的收益。

具体而言，报告分析了以下经济影响：            

• 大学的研究和知识交流活动为79亿英镑

• 大学的教学活动为4.22亿英镑

• 大学的教育出口为7.32亿英镑

• 大学及其各学院的支出为60亿英镑

• 大学对旅游业的贡献为6.11亿英镑

牛津大学的研究和知识交流活动的经济影响估计为79亿英镑，这些活动支持了超过28000个全职工作。这包括大学的研究活动对英国经济的45亿英镑的影响。此外，34亿英镑是由大学将其知识产权（IP）授权给其他组织、以大学知识产权为基础的衍生公司的运作以及位于贝布罗克和牛津科学园的公司的活动产生的影响。 

Perhaps the most dramatic indicator this year of the impact of the University of Oxford as a whole, came in a report produced by London Economics in July, which estimated the total impact of the University’s activities on the UK economy in 2018-19 to be £15.7 billion, with 40% of this economic impact occurring outside the South East. This figure demonstrates that for every £1 invested in Oxford, research and innovation generates more than £10 for the UK economy. Specifically, the analysis captures the economic impact of:   

• The University’s research and knowledge exchange activities at £7.9 billion

• The University’s teaching and learning activities at £422 million                               

• The University’s educational exports at £732 million                               

• The spending of the University and its colleges at £6 billion                               

• The University’s contribution to tourism at £611 million                               

The economic impact of the University of Oxford’s research and knowledge exchange activities was estimated at £7.9 billion and these activities supported over 28,000 full-time jobs. This includes a £4.5 billion impact of the University’s research activities on the UK economy. In addition, £3.4 billion was generated by impacts associated with the University’s licensing of its intellectual property (IP) to other organisations, the operations of spinout companies whose activities are based on the University’s IP, and the activities of companies located at the Begbroke and Oxford Science Parks.

2021年10月，牛津大学赛德商学院在奥斯内电站举行了奠基仪式，标志着崭新的全球领袖中心正式破土动工。这一中心将像一道21世纪的光芒照亮牛津的独特地标——奥斯内电站。1892年启用的老奥斯内电站是牛津的第一个发电厂。

从2024年起，它将为现在和未来领导力模式的发展提供动力。牛津全球领袖中心将有一系列正式和非正式的教学空间，来支持高水平的商业和领导力教育。教学将采取面对面或远程方式，充分运用一系列资源，包括为全球团队提供服务的最先进的数字工具。

In October 2021, Saïd Business School held a ground-breaking ceremony at Osney Power Station to launch its new Global Leadership Centre.              The centre will shine a 21st century light on the distinctive Oxford landmark of the Osney Power Station.              The old Osney power station, which opened in 1892, was Oxford’s first electrical power plant. 

From 2024, it will serve to power the development of leadership models now and for the future.              The Global Leadership Centre will support high-level business and leadership education with a range of formal and informal teaching spaces. Teaching will take place face-to-face or remotely, using a range of resources, including state-of-the-art digital tools, designed to reach diverse teams globally.
