It covers all aspects of the life of the University and its colleges: research and teaching, cultural events, sport, and undergraduate life. It also includes historical features about the University and its alumni.

The magazine appears three times a year, and is distributed free to around 150,000 alumni worldwide. It is also available on subscription.

In this issue we talk to Oxford bioethicists about the perils and prospects of human enhancement. We also mark the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe and we examine its impact on Oxford. And Mike Gross talks to one of the architects of turning academic innovation into commercial opportunities. We hope you enjoy these and all our other features.
