The Marshall Institute at LSE works to improve the impact and effectiveness of private action for public benefit through research, teaching and catalysing action.
The Marshall Institute is also home to 100x Impact, the LSE-based initiative working to identify, support and scale bold ideas with the potential to transform social systems. While the Institute and 100x Impact have distinct programmes and teams, colleagues work alongside one another and operate through a shared governance structure.
