Founded in 1624, informality and distinction have always rubbed shoulders at Pembroke. This was Samuel Johnson’s college, as well as JRR Tolkien’s and Senator J. William Fulbright’s. Recent Masters include the neurologist and record-breaking runner, Sir Roger Bannister, senior Middle Eastern diplomat Sir Geoffrey Arthur and Professor of Law, Robert Stevens.

In addition to a Governing Body of 38 Fellows and 4 Advisory Fellows (alumni who lend their professional experience to Pembroke as Trustees or non-executive members of the Governing Body), the college provides an intellectual home to just under 400 Undergraduates, as well as around 30 Visiting Students and about 100 Graduate Students.

Pembroke is very proud to recently have extended the College’s main site to the south by providing state-of-the-art facilities, including a series of meeting and teaching rooms, a new multi-purpose auditorium and a dedicated café. We hope that, together with the main site, these will provide a particularly amenable backdrop for this Summit.
