London Economics Symposium
London Economics Symposium-Trustee’s annual report 2024
Mission statement
The London Economics Symposium was founded for students with the commitment to offer a platform for open discussion on global socio-economic and political events in a dynamic setting. We believe stimulus for inspiration comes from listening to and interacting with influential and prominent people in their fields. The London Economics Symposium aims to form an effective dialogue between students, academics and leaders to foster a holistic view on world affairs. The key goal of this event is for all parties to actively seek debate on today's relevant and pressing issues. Consequently, these discussions should enhance students' contextual appreciation of current events as well as share speakers' accumulated knowledge. Greater understanding of the present is the link, which leads to creative farsighted and visionary thinking for our future. It is the responsibility of the world leaders to guide and contribute their insight to the next generation. We see the continuum of the London Economics Symposium as imperative. We hope to further engage, inspire and educate a broad range of students from diverse cultural backgrounds in sight of preparing future global leaders for the challenges of tomorrow.
Charitable purpose/ public benefit
No change to last year’s purpose
What have we done to carry out the purpose
In recent years, the LES charity has been relatively inactive due to challenges in finding successor organizers and the impact of COVID-19. The planned small-scale student event did not take place. A new date is currently being arranged for the charity trustee to meet and formally decide on the future of the charity, including whether to appoint new trustees or to proceed with winding it down.
