The LSE Women’s Network invites all students at participating GPPN schools to participate in the first annual Gender and Policy Conference.
The Women’s Network at the LSE was launched in 2018 to provide an inclusive space for all genders to connect, collaborate, and network on issues pertaining to gender and policy, as well as diversity and policy on a broader scale. Over the past year, the network has hosted a series of events, ran a successful mentorship programme for Public Policy students, and played an advocacy role within the LSE and the school’s push for diversity and equality.
This year, the Women’s Network has gone global – and connected with various students at the other GPPN schools. Thus sparked the demand for the first annual Gender and Policy Conference for GPPN students.
The Gender and Policy Conference will be hosted by the LSE here in London, UK in 2020. The duration of the conference will be 2 days, beginning on a Friday evening and ending on a Sunday morning. Over the course of the conference, delegates will have the opportunity to listen to inspiring speakers, engage in educational workshops, and network with their peers. All students within the GPPN network – inclusive of all genders – are welcome to attend the weekend conference as delegates.
The purpose of this Google Form is to gauge interest amongst GPPN students for the conference, as well as ability and willingness to travel to London.
With many thanks for your time
