Ellison Institute of Technology

EIT Tops Out! We celebrated reaching the highest point of construction on our new EIT campus. We gathered with our partners to admire the traditional crane pass of a fir tree - a symbol of growth and continuity. When completed in 2027, it will be a launchpad for ideas, innovation and collaboration.

🎄 Wishing all our colleagues, collaborators and partners a very happy festive break. Thank you for your support this year, as we've scaled teams, ideas and physical spaces at pace.

We’re proud of what’s been built together and excited for what’s ahead in 2026! 🎉

We are delighted to announce that Professor Santa Ono, EIT’s Global President and President of EIT Oxford, has been elected a Senior Research Fellow at Worcester College, University of Oxford.
