The Oxford & Cambridge Society of Austria
About
The Oxford and Cambridge Society of Austria serves past and present members of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge in Austria. We are committed to providing a vibrant and enriching experience to our members and their guests, fostering a sense of community and intellectual stimulation. Herzlich willkommen!
The Society was founded in 1994 as The Cambridge Society of Austria and re-christened in 2005 as The Oxford & Cambridge Society of Austria. We provide a home for the alumni communities of both universities, proudly furthering the traditional connection between the two universities, as well as a healthy spirit of rivalry, e.g. through our annual screening of the Boat Race. We are a non-profit organisation under the Austrian Verein charter and approved by both universities as the Austrian Alumni Society.
