Who can attend the LSE Generate: Better World Summit?
The Better World Summit is open to university-level students and recent graduates who are passionate about entrepreneurship, innovation, and social impact. There is no expectation that attendees will have any amount of professional experience or have studied subjects related to business, entrepreneurship, or the social sciences at university. If you are interested in thinking about your career, learning more about entrepreneurship, and are open to international education opportunities, then please do register for a place!
As places are strictly limited, attendance will be limited to confirmed ticket holders. To request one ticket, please complete the application form here.
If your ticket request is successful, you will receive a confirmation email containing a QR code which you will be required to present upon arrival to the event.
I'm interested in studying at LSE. Is this event right for me?
Yes. The event will provide a great insight into what it is like to be an LSE student. Additionally, alongside the thematic discussions and workshops hosted by LSE Generate, the event will include opportunities to learn more about how to study at LSE and ask any questions you might have about making an application.
What language will the Summit be hosted in?
The summit will be hosted in a mixture of Portuguese and English. The language of each session will be clearly marked in the final event programme. While being able to speak English to at least intermediate level will significantly enhance your experience, this is not essential.
Can I bring guests?
No. Attendance is strictly limited to authorised ticket holders and guests will not be permitted entry.
What is the dress code?
Business casual attire is recommended, but please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
How do I get to the event?
The Pestana Rio Atlântica is located on Av. Atlantica on the Copacabana beachfront. View on Google Maps here.
The hotel is easily accessible by taxi or public transport. There are several bus stops, served by a number of lines, within walking distance of the hotel. The closest metro station is Cantagalo / Copacabana, which is within about fifteen minutes walking distance of the Pestana Rio Atlântica.
Please note that due to the declaration of the public holiday and the high volume of international visitors in the city, journey times may be considerably longer than normal. We recommend setting off early to avoid delaying your arrival.
