About us

LSE’s only society focused solely on the developing world, hosting events on a regular basis. Founded on the principles of inclusion and open discussion on all global matters, the LSE Developing Markets society aims to provide a platform where students can gain an international perspective on developing economic markets and further their understanding of the intricacies of these markets and the issues they face.

LSESU Developing Markets Society aims to differentiate itself through the focus on these three objectives:

Education:

Expand members’ knowledge of developing economies all over the world through events, and build their ability to critically analyse and compare these markets from an economic perspective.

Research Output:

Produce a website and newsletter that allows interested members to apply what they learn through researching and writing about developing markets, and share their views with fellow students.

Professional Development

Connect students with industry professionals working in or with developing markets to enhance their understanding of these economies and build transferable skills for their future careers.
