As something new, LSE had also invited the British Ladies Club of Luxembourg which gave us all a great chance to mingle and make new acquaintances. It was a fine evening with good attendance, great food and an interesting talk on the Luxembourg Red Cross by <strong> Michel Wurth<\/strong>, Non-Executive Director at ArcelorMittal and Vice-Chairman of the Luxembourg Red Cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Wurth offered a compelling overview of the Red Cross\u2019s dual mission: delivering humanitarian relief in crisis zones abroad while also addressing pressing needs at home. What resonated most with the audience was the organisation\u2019s steadfast commitment to inclusion\u2014supporting vulnerable groups, from youth initiatives to poverty alleviation, and striving to ensure that no one is left behind.<br>           Equally striking was the insight into the robust corporate governance framework underpinning Red Cross Luxembourg\u2019s work. At a time when accountability and transparency are paramount, this structured approach ensures that humanitarian principles are translated into effective, sustainable action<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-44755229-bb33-43c6-9930-26099c3fa50d\"><strong>Thank you to Michel Wurth, and to Claudio Zucca and the team at the LSE!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-7-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-7-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-7-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-7-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-7-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-7-1200x900.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-7.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3-1200x900.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/oxford.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-3.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were invited to LSE&#8217;s Winter Dinner at the&nbsp;Golf Club Grand Ducal, and I am glad to report that OUSL was also represented at LSE&#8217;s annual dinner.
