The Association includes members representing Business, Technology, Twinning Associations, Local Authorities and Education.

Since 1946 Oxford has been involved in twinning links with continental Europe. Through twinning, many people in the city have forged closer relationships with their counterparts in Leiden (Netherlands), Bonn (Germany), Grenoble (France), Leon (Nicaragua) and Perm (Russia). Building on and responding to the growing awareness of a wider Europe, the Oxford in Europe Association was formed in 1991.
