We invite applications from LSE researchers in any discipline and at any career stage, who want to explore a practical response to any social, economic or environmental challenge based on their research. You don’t need a fully formed solution, but we are looking for evidence of a thorough understanding of the problem, and a well thought-through idea about how you might tackle it. We hope to find and support solutions with the potential to deliver benefits at scale, grounded in research knowledge, insights, outputs or expertise.
