As an important part of our Outreach work, members of your OUSL will be manning a stand at the Annual Student Fair. It falls on two working days, Thursday (29/10) and Friday (30/10), so we are also:

Calling on you lovely members: do get in contact with us (Dan Schmit, Bob Kieffer) if you would like to volunteer to man the Oxford University stand, if only for an hour?, perhaps two?, half a day?? – or perhaps for all two days!!

Our Outreach committee member, Dan Schmit, will be the main organiser and the one pulling all the threads together.

We are proud to participate in this important work in our continued efforts to support Oxford University and strengthen our links with education in Luxembourg.

This is the second Annual Golf Tournament kindly initiated by our member Peter Carter and co-organised this year with Jan Könighaus and John Speed.

We will meet 15h at the Belenhaff Junglinster and enjoy an afternoon of golf which will be followed by optional dinner.

All levels welcome.

We will keep you posted!

It’s time to factor in the annual Meeting Minds Weekend in Oxford. As usual it is packed with irrisistible talks, workshops, guided tours and more. Over three days, you’ll have the chance to hear from the researchers tackling the world’s biggest challenges, revisit places both familiar and new, and connect with fellow members of the Oxford community. 

Bringing together curious minds across generations, this is a uniquely Oxford opportunity to explore the ideas shaping our collective future. 

Whether you’re returning for the first time in years or a regular visitor, you’ll discover how Oxford continues to change lives around the world – and how you can play a part in its future.

If you are planning to attend, you may wish to let us know (chair@oxford.lu). We will keep a list of Oxford alumni who are going so that you can connect with one another.

Well met in Oxford!

In line with our long-established tradition we are inviting our new freshers for an informal Dinner at Chiche! together with committee members, mock-interviewers and other who have helped with education and outreach.

As a new feature, we are delighted to announce that we will also be joined by Camsoc’s freshers, members of their committee and representatives from their Outreach team.

This is an informal and congenial evening where we get to toast the new students and wish them all the best for their forthcoming studies. We also hope to foster a bond so that we can stay in contact with the students and reconnect when/if they return to Luxembourg.

This year, the main organiser of the OUSL Freshers Dinner will is our committee member for Outreach, Dan Schmit. Should you have any questions please contact Dan Schmit, kindly cc’ing chair@oxford.lu.

You know them from their many concerts and recordings and we had a ten-minute taster of their art at the Tripartite Dinner last year at the Golf Club Grand-Ducal. I promised you then to broker a proper concert and this is now done!
