1763 is a collaborative society recently established by the students of Minerva University and LIS (London Interdisciplinary School). We aim to broaden the educational frontiers worldwide by collecting best practices and ways of thinking that embrace complexity, interdisciplinary problem-solving, and global immersion, as well as facilitate dialogue that inspires innovation and cultivates future-ready leaders.
