About CCIR

Our Mission

Cambridge Centre for International Research (CCIR) was founded by a group of Cambridge graduates with a definite understanding and vision of the transformative role of knowledge for society.

The epistemic resources being produced by the brightest minds in our finest academies possess transformative potential—but all too often, the social impact of these resources have been limited as a result of their inaccessibility.

Our mission is to build bridges between the leading researchers and scholars of our finest academies and the wider public—to increase social access to these transformative epistemic resources. In doing so, we hope to cultivate the next generation of citizens and thinkers who will, together, help build a brighter future.

CCIR Fellows

The CCIR Fellowship gives early career researchers the opportunity to share their ideas and make a real impact on the public.
