12 December 2026: The Annual Oxbridge visit to the Christmas Market

It is tradition, that Oxbridge members meet for this fun and informal afternoon (friends/partners welcome) in December to share a drink or a cup of tea at some nice place in mid-town. Then, we all head off to the Christmas Market by the Gëlle Fra to soak up the Christmas spirit.

This year, Camsoc is arranging the visit to the Christmas Market. Details will be finalised closer to the event.

Sign-up will be with Camsoc (email tbi) with cc chair@oxford.lu

29-30 October 2026 (Thursday-Friday): The Annual Student Fair at the ‘Coque National Sports and Culture Centre’ in Kirchberg, Luxembourg

The Annual Student Fair is an important part of our Outreach work and forms part of our continued efforts to support Oxford University, strengthening our links with education in Luxembourg. Members of your OUSL committee will man a stand at the Annual Student Fair, ensuring there is always 2-3 representatives at the stand. As the Fair falls on two working days (Thursday and Friday), we would be grateful for any support from our community, so:

Calling on all OUSL members:
Please do get in contact with us (Dan Schmit, Bob Kieffer) if you would like to volunteer to co-man the Oxford University stand. Perhaps only for an hour?, perhaps for two? or even half a day or more?!! Whatever and whenever you studied at Oxford, this is precious knowledge for prospective students. So do get in touch with us please.

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

See you at the ‘Coque National Sports and Culture Centre’ in Kirchberg, Luxembourg on 29-30 October 2026!
