About our Shaping the World Campaign

Right now, the world needs new ideas and new leaders like never before.

Curious minds have been shaping the world for 125 years at LSE. Our founding mission – and its enactment by our students, faculty, alumni, friends and partners – is more crucial today than at any point in our history.  LSE’s 2030 vision sets out our ambitious plan to become the world’s leading social science university with the greatest global impact.

We want to shape the world at a time of extraordinary change and challenges, through our core business of teaching and research, to provide solutions, learning, and public engagement that is impactful and life changing.

Through our Shaping the World Campaign, we invite you now to be part of this journey as we commit to raising £350 million in philanthropic income and to securing 100,000 hours of volunteer contributions in support of this endeavour.
