We're launching recruitment in the LSE undergraduate community for LSE GROUPS/Imperial Horizons 2017, the latest incarnation of our long-running student research project, hosted in conjunction with Imperial College London. Find more details on our main GROUPS page here, and let your students know! Closing date for applications is Friday 2 December 2016.
On that subject, some of our GROUPS alumni recently won the prestigious Booth Prize at the LSE Research Festival, for presentation of their work in GROUPS 2016. Congratulations to them!
Finally, the LSE Education Blog has just had a feature post on the launch of our new Resources for academics! Already available are documents on PhD supervision: roles and responsibilities and Guidance on blogging. We'll be adding to those soon - visit our Resources page here.
