  London School of Economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The London School of Economics and Political Science, often referred to as the London School of Economics or simply the LSE, is a specialist university and a constituent college of the federal University of London, located on Houghton Street in Central London, off the Aldwych and next to the Royal Courts of Justice.
During these years and under the directorship of Lionel Robbins, LSE redefined the study of economics and the new conception of the study of economics as "a science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses" is looked to as the norm.
While political tests, such as those in place in the UK for the decision to join the Euro, bare little to no resemblance to the key OCA criteria contributed to by Mundell, economic theorists use the OCA criteria in literature as the most effective method of analysis for the success of a single currency.

 L.S.E.
The London School of Economics and Political Science (known everywhere by its "L.S.E." acronym) was set up as in 1895 by Sidney J. Webb and Beatrice Potter Webb.
Robbins himself announced the arrival of this "new" economics in his famous Essay on the Nature and Significance of Economic Science (1932) expounding the methodology of radical Neocassical theory.
Laski was hired at the L.S.E. to succeed Graham Wallas in political science in 1920, he eventually became one of its leading spirits.

 AIM25: British Library of Political and Economic Science: London School of Economics and Political Science Archives
The British Library of Political Science (later renamed the British Library of Political and Economic Science in 1925) was opened in November 1896, with Hewins as its Director and John McKillop as Librarian (1896-1910).
During this period the LSE became a School of the newly created teaching University of London (1900), which led to its incorporation as a limited company, and the establishment of a University Faculty of Economic and Political Science.
The School was now composed of over 1,000 students, with a large proportion of women and foreign students, and the creation of a purpose built building allowed lectures to be given during the day as well.

 EUROPA - Rapid - Press Releases   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
There are two basic factors contributing to the scale of this impact: firstly, the “crowding in” effect which means that participants are willing to invest additional resources of their own because EU projects give access to foreign researchers and research outputs in a way that national funds simply cannot.
European science can only be as good as the people carrying it out, and that is why the People programme, will support a range of actions to foster the training and networking of researchers, building on the very positive experience in previous programmes.
Instead of relying on the identification of political or thematic priorities, the focus is on supporting the highest quality research from all disciplines by funding individual teams in open competition at pan-European level, solely on the basis of excellence.
