Society needs to change - let's change it together

We’re excited to share that LSSI has evolved into Leeds Institute for Societal Futures (LISF). This new institute builds on LSSI’s strong foundations but pushes further, broadening its scope, raising its ambition, and increasing its influence on local, national and global agendas. LISF will support activity and bring together expertise from all disciplines, championing the power of SHAPE and STEAM-led collaboration, and putting co-production at the heart of everything it does. Challenge-led research will sit alongside postgraduate education and professional learning innovation, creating spaces where students, researchers, and partners can collaborate, experiment, and turn bold ideas into solutions that really matter.

This website will remain live until the end of December 2025 to give our existing stakeholders time to update links to favourite pages etc.  The new LISF website will be launched later in September 2025.

We will continue to host the Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) and support the ESRC White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership as well as the Co-production Network.  To sign up to the LISF updates please email.
