What to do and who to speak to?
Any LSE staff member seeking to instigate an academic partnership must seek initial endorsement to proceed from his/her Head of Department and discuss the proposal with their departement or research centre's colleagues so there is a consensus on the proposed project.
The proposer will need to complete GAE's academic partnerships proposal template and consider whether the nature of the proposal will require support and/or resources from other departments or divisions at LSE, e.g. Student Services, Admissions, ARD systems. Colleagues may need to be consulted regarding practical aspects of the proposed partnership even if the partner is an institution LSE already collaborates with.
A separate due diligence evaluation may be required and GAE will provide assistance with this process. If you would like to discuss a specific project, email our team and we will be happy to schedule a conversation in person or online.
