LUMS Student Policy Research Initiative (LSPRI) is Pakistan’s first-ever student-run think tank, dedicated to fostering student engagement in research, policy analysis, and advocacy.
What began as an institute under the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) has evolved into a student-led platform that empowers young voices to take part in shaping Pakistan’s policy landscape. At LSPRI, students don’t just study policy but they contribute to it.
