Cambridge Centre for International Research

About Us

The Cambridge Centre for International Research (CCIR) was founded by a group of Cambridge graduates committed to making academic research more accessible to the public. Working with leading academics, as well as early-career researchers, we seek to expand the reach and impact of ideas that matter. Meanwhile, every year, we work with talented high school students to cultivate their academic passions and develop their research interests and skills.

CCIR Think Tank Highlights

In the 2020 Winter edition of our Ideas and Innovation podcast, we invited Professor Luciano Floridi (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford and Director of the Oxford Internet Institute’s Digital Ethics Lab) to discuss the role of philosophy in the current information-technological revolution.

CCIR Fellowship SPOTLIGHT
