Socials

Our termly socials gather Scandinavian and Scandinavian-minded members of the University to meet each other and enjoy different events together. The events can range from normal drinks events to midsummer celebration and crayfish parties.

Our social event have been very appreciated, with there often being more than a hundred guests attending. Even if you only attend a few social events you will find a membership to be a worthwhile investment.

Sittnings

Our termly Sittnings have brought the unique Scandinavian dinner-party tradition to Oxford, and has become our most renowned event. A sittning is a several course dinner backed by a plentiful amount of drinks and, even more importantly, of drinking songs.

We are extremely proud of enabling so many people previously unknown to sittnings to join us and sharing in this delightful Scandinavian tradition. Tickets are commonly sold out after an hour or two so everyone interested in experiencing one are advised to pay close attention to our Facebook feed in order not to miss the release.

Talks

We are privileged to be able to engage with a community of scientists, scholars and global thinkers from all across the Nordic countries and Oxford. We maintain relationships with Oxford societies and thereby gain exclusive access to talks hosted by the brightest Nordic people of today.

This way we have presented talks by e.g. ambassador Sigríður Ásdís Snævarr and Carine Smith Ihenacho, and are looking forward to all the interesting discussions to come.
