GRF Recipients in 2025

In 2024-25, ISAP awarded fifteen global research awards to seventeen different departments and research units. This led to collaborations with colleagues from over fifteen countries with activities spanning from writeshops to conferences and research trips.

The Global Research Fund (GRF) aims to support collaborative endeavours between LSE faculty and other international research partners. The scheme acts as a seed fund to enable LSE researchers to initiate and carry out collaborative research activities that facilitate joint research output and future international grant applications. 

Here are some of the projects supported in 2024-25:
