The European Affairs Society is a much needed non-partisan forum for the discussion of European affairs.
The Society seeks to provide its members with an informed and critical exploration of affairs concerning Europe. The society strives to maintain its position as the university’s leading forum in this area and remains entirely impartial in its work. At the core of its termly programme the society brings its members into contact with noteworthy speakers by hosting a series of seven or eight discussion forums. The society has been fortunate enough to welcome senior diplomats, analysts, artists, politicians and Heads of State to its meetings. The society attracts some of the best people to Oxford and in recent years the society has been addressed by Joschka Fischer, Vaclav Klaus, Neil Kinnock, Sir Leon Brittan, Javier Solana, and Franz Vranitzky.
