18-20 September 2026: The Annual MEETING MINDS weekend in Oxford

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!

The Annual OUSL Freshers Dinner at Chiche! Thursday 17 September 2026 at 19h30

In line with our long-established tradition we will invite 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, however, we are delighted to extend invitations also to 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 Schmidt. Should you have any questions please contact events@oxford.lu

Saturday 12 Sep: The acclaimed Duo Natalia will be back and regale us at a dinner-concert at Cercle Münster

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. So put a large tick in your calendars for Saturday 12 September 2026, late afternoon, followed by apéro and three-course dinner into the evening.

Please see their recent review from a concert in Vienna – higher acclaim cannot be given: Duo Natalia at Bösendorfer Salon, Wien

Invitations are under preparation, but feel free to drop me a line on chair@oxford.lu if you wish to register your presence already now.
