Wellcome Trust

We support the Battle of Ideas because they share our aim to encourage people to consider and question the key issues raised by research into health and the human condition. We look forward to another spirited weekend of thought-provoking discussion and debate!

Dr Jeremy Farrar, Director of the Wellcome Trust

Christopher Kelly, reader in Ancient History and Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at Corpus Christi College
