History

The site has been the home of research facilities since 1960, when the Weed Research Organisation was established there. It was later used as the Technology Centre of the Cookson Group. The site was bought by Oxford University in 1998, [1]

The university owns 200 acres (81 ha) of land surrounding the research park, mainly devoted to agriculture, of which the Science Park is developed on a 10-acre site at the centre. [2]

In 2017, a new science enterprise centre, known as the Begbroke Innovation Accelerator, was opened in the park as an extension of the Centre for Innovation and Enterprise. [3]
