This week-long capacity-building workshop, LSE-Delhi Global Engagement Week, was facilitated by the British Council India and coordinated by the GAE team at LSE. The delegation met and exchanged with over ten teams across the School, discussing higher education administration and research with LSE professional services and faculty colleagues.
