The University of Oxford China Office runs a number of events throughout the year, including the Oxford Academics in China lecture series, bringing the most distinguished academics, all leading authorities in their field, from Oxford to the heart of Asia to speak about new, exciting and topical research undertaken at Oxford today. The office also collaborates with various departments of the University to deliver major events like the Oxford China Lecture and the Alumni Weekend in Asia. We also offer special invitations for alumni and friends to meet the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Faculty and Departmental leaders from Oxford in our social receptions. To help you connect with friends and get involved, we will also let you know when your college is hosting a reunion in your city, and highlight the major events organised by our thriving alumni networks in the Asia Pacific region.
