The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning and research in the world. Founded in 1895, LSE counts 18 Nobel prize winners among its alumni and staff.

In November 2021, we launched the public phase of Shaping the World, our major £350 million philanthropy and engagement Campaign to underpin LSE’s strategic goals. Nearly 85% of our Campaign goal has been raised so far and as momentum builds, we look to what the future of the Campaign might look like.
