How do gifts support LSE research that shapes the post-COVID world?

The COVID-19 LSE Response Fund enables alumni and supporters to fund new research initiative projects, knowledge exchange activities, and provide seed funding for activities in response to the crisis.

The world needs new ideas like never before. In times of instability and uncertainty, there is a great opportunity to build back better, creating inclusivity and sustainable growth.

A number of COVID-19 research projects (on Research for the World), the Behavioural Science podcast ‘Duck-Rabbit’, and ‘COVID-19 shortcasts’ — 20-minute digested versions of LSE online public events — have been made possible, thanks to the fund.

Your support of the COVID-19 LSE Response Fund helps back world-leading research that shapes real-world policy, helping to shape ideas for impact by supporting new research, addressing the challenges we face — both in terms of limiting the social and economic effects of the pandemic, and helping to shape a better post-COVID-19 world.
