LSE’s annual interdisciplinary student research conference is taking place this year as part of the LSE Festival on Monday 10 June, in the Shaw Library and various locations around campus. The conference will showcase the research of current LSE students, recent alumni, and students from our partner CIVICA universities across Europe. This year’s conference draws on the LSE Festival theme of power and politics.

Panels and sessions at this year's conference will address a wide range of thematic areas from across the social sciences which connect to issues of power and politics, including AI development and regulation, democratic governance, migration and refugees, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and many more.

Location update: registration and opening remarks will take place in the Shaw Library, 6th Floor, Old Building. An updated programme with new locations is available to view now.
