LSESU Future Impact is a community and student movement based in LSE actively engaging with the emerging issues that will define our future economy, society and world.
We have five thematic divisions dedicated to specific influential emerging trends:
Future of Health, Future of Work, Climate, Space and Cyber Society.
FUTURE OF HEALTH
We explore the rapidly developing world of health & medtech, genetic engineering, life extension, novel medicine & treatment, bioethics & much much more!
FUTURE OF WORK
We aim to cover the trends that are emerging in the labour economy from automation, UBI & Ed tech to globalisation, inequality & job dissatisfaction.
CLIMATE
We try to tackle the many different aspects of the climate debate, ranging from policy making, energy transition, green finance, international cooperation, sustainable cities, activism, climate technology and many more
SPACE
We try to help students understand the major trends in aerospace & spacetech. We cover everything from space policy & politics, interplanetary colonisation, satellites, commercial space flight, existential risks & all the latest developments in space tech
CYBER SOCIETY
We aim to explore the interaction of our economic, social and political lives with technology. We cover topics including mass surveillance, AI, autonomous warfare & machines, smart cities, social media + so much more. We are definitely the division with the largest scope!
