The purpose of the division is to increase the impact and influence of the LSE and its work externally, in pursuit of the School's historical mission to contribute to wider society as well as to promote academic excellence. This is to benefit the whole LSE community.

The division brings together several existing functions - click on each to go to their websites:

Academic Partnerships

Conference and Events
Communications - comprising Press and Information, Design Unit and Web Services
The division is responsible for the School's representation in China - see LSE China
The division also gathers and disseminates information about external activities, see Linking Up (staff only)

During the academic year 2008-09, the division will be joined by Laurent Bigorgne, Dean of Studies at our partner institution Sciences Po in Paris, who will work with us to strengthen the relationship with LSE and to explore internationalisation strategies on behalf of the Russell Group.
