Our vision is to create a platform that brings together all LSE students passionate about contemporary European affairs.
Our 3 core objectives are:
To create an inclusive environment for exchanges of ideas and questions on Europe’s social, economic and political future that will be equally open to and welcoming of both EU and non-EU nationals.
To promote the rich and diverse culture of European countries and serve as the point of dialogue between all European students at the LSE.
To contribute to enhancing its members’ professional and academic development.
As one of LSE’s fastest-growing and most active academic societies, we administer the European Policy Lab, LSE’s first-ever and only student-led European policy think tank. Here, students from different degree programs come together around a common issue of interest, conducting research and designing a policy proposal over the course of the academic year, with opportunities to present their findings to leading European policymakers and academic experts.
Our “In Conversation” events, hosted bi-weekly, facilitate informal discussions with leading academic experts at LSE and beyond on the most pressing issues facing Europe today — from the implications of Trump’s return to the White House for the European security landscape to changing nature of populism in 2020s Europe.
We also aim to provide career guidance for our members through panel discussions, networking sessions, and speaker events featuring professionals from a wide range of organisations and sectors — from Barclays to the European Commission and the EBRD.
Membership
Purchasing a European Society membership grants you access to our email newsletters, which keep you informed about upcoming events as well as other activities we host throughout the academic year. Please note that, with the exception of the events and activities organized during Freshers’ Week, being a paying member of the European Society is mandatory for attending all our events — such as the “In Conversation” series, as well as for getting involved in the European Policy Lab.
