We have regular informal gatherings to allow Oxford and Cambridge alumni to meet others living in their area for conversation, drinks, dinner, whatever is desired. Anyone with an Oxford or Cambridge connection is welcome, no matter whether an expatriate working here or a Dutch former Oxbridge student. If you wish, you can contact someone on the committee to find out more about the plans or the locations, but otherwise feel free just to turn up.

Amsterdam: runs on a semi-regular basis depending on other social events. Let us know your interest, and we’ll let you know when/where it takes place.
Den Haag: last Tuesday of every month, starting from 8pm
Leiden: third Tuesday of certain months, starting from 6:30pm
Eindhoven: 1st Tuesday of every month at 12pm in ASML building 3, contact via Ping Shen
