Knowledge Beyond Boundaries, LSE's annual interdisciplinary student research conference, is taking place as part of LSE Festival on Wednesday 17 June 2026, 10am - 6.30pm. 

Knowledge Beyond Boundaries will showcase research from current LSE students, recent alumni, and students from our partner CIVICA universities across Europe. The conference will draw upon this year’s Festival theme of how to save the planet. The day will share research from across the social sciences which explores the impact of a wide range of global existential threats and asks how we can tackle them both as individuals and collectively.

The conference will provide a space to experience a notable variety of student and alumni research, including panel discussions, a poster gallery, performances and keynotes. Together, all of these presentations – and the conference as a whole – highlight the significance of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing complex, global issues.
