Oxford German British Conference

Bridging Perspectives, Shaping the Future

The First Oxford German British Conference

27th-29th November 2026 | Oxford, UK

Founded by German students at Oxford, the conference creates a trusted space for German-British dialogue, bold ideas, and lasting networks across Europe.

The Kensington Dialogue

Against the backdrop of the latest rapprochements between Germany and the UK through the Kensington Treaty, this year's focus will be on reinforcing the Kensington Dialogue. Over three days, we bring together a curated program of keynotes, panels, and intimate dialogues, hosted in iconic Oxford settings.

Expect high-calibre speakers, honest debate, and a community built for long-term friendships and professional networks across Europe.
