In line with our long-established tradition we will invite our new freshers for our 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

Professor Joel Mokyr is an economic historian and the Robert H. Strotz Professor of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern University. His work is highly relevant to Luxembourg, as it champions the strength of public and private institutions, density of knowledge workers, and openness to the world as critical elements to economic growth. Luxembourg exemplifies many of the very dynamics Professor Mokyr has spent his career explaining.

The talk will be followed by a social cocktail reception, where attendees can reflect on the ideas shared and connect with other guests who will represent a wide array of public and private sector interests in the Benelux region. Confirmed guests include ambassadors, central bank governors, c-level executives and academic leaders.

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.
