It was established in 2007 in perpetuity by a benefaction of £3.3m from the Winton Charitable Foundation, later known as the David and Claudia Harding Foundation. It is the only professorship of its type in the United Kingdom. There is an associated internet-based program devoted to understanding uncertainty.
