EI's LSE Congress Team 2022/23

LSE Congress is a simulation activity where students are invited to explore how LSE’s research can contribute to the progress towards the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Working as a team representing the European Institute, and supported by staff from the Eden Centre, our students engaged in a series of structured activities across the year, culminating in a one-day summit – the meeting of LSE Congress – during which they demonstrated how the research they conducted can be used to shape the policy agenda. During this summit, our students, Chloe Halsted and Yijing Xiao, were part of the winning team for Best Final Presentation.
