Open University looks to the future as it celebrates 47 years of transforming lives
The Vice-Chancellor of The Open University (OU) has called on the organisation to draw inspiration from its “glorious” past as it marks the 47th anniversary of receiving its Royal Charter.
A series of special events have been taking place across the OU, including keynote speeches from Peter Horrocks, as well as the University’s Pro-Chancellor, Richard Gillingwater. The day has also seen the OU showcasing some of its world-leading technology at its Milton Keynes campus, as well as the official launch of a new Digital Archive to mark the centenary of Harold Wilson, one of the leading figures behind the creation of The Open University.
