Making scholarship count in the real world!
In LSE's Research Festival 2015, the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) and the Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) launched a brand new competition for PhD students and those within five years of being awarded their PhD.
The aim was to unlock some of the fresh, original and insightful research that's being driven by junior researchers across LSE, and to identify the very best of that research, bringing it to a wider audience.
As part of LSE Research Festival, the Institute of Public Affairs hosted a public event which saw the winners of this year's Strictly Come Researching competition undergo a gruelling live interview with Professor Conor Gearty. You can see how the researchers got on by watching the videos below.
