International Education Week (IEW) is an important opportunity for LSE to celebrate the benefits of global learning and cultural exchange. For the week of 17 November - 21 November 2025, we will be highlighting the priorities of LSE’s International Strategy through events, discussions and resources. This includes the importance of international experiences for students, benefits of global research collaborations, and the value of a diverse student and faculty community.
On behalf of the International Strategy and Academic Partnerships Team, we hope you can engage in some part of the week’s festivities, as we underscore the School’s commitment to academic excellence, cultural awareness, and the development of globally competent graduates.

Monday 17 November: NYU London Visit

NYU’s first campus was founded in 1831 in New York City and since then NYU has grown its global presence with two additional degree awarding campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. In addition, NYU has 13 global study away centres throughout the world, including London. Colleagues from NYU London will be hosting an information session for LSE colleagues to learn more about NYU and its global presence.

Friday 21 November: Closing the Awarding Gap through Equitable Assessment and Support
With a diverse learning population coming from a wide range of countries, educational backgrounds and different cultures, the importance of equitable assessments and support is imperative. The Eden Centre is hosting a workshop on Friday 21 November from 2-3 pm for faculty and staff to help prepare staff on designing assessments that not only measure learning outcomes but actively promote equity. This workshop invites academic staff to explore inclusive assessment strategies that support diverse learners and can contribute to closing the awarding gap and enable all students to participate in learning.
We will be focusing on inclusive assessment design and inclusive support through our work on the inclusive practice in assessment guidance.
This session offers a space to reflect, share, and co-create assessment approaches that align with our institutional commitment to equity and student success. Book your place here.
Friday 21 November: Screening of At the edge of Europe: Democracy in Estonia 6:00-7:30pm
