Research Partnerships
Since its inception PASCAL has been involved in a number of important cross-national studies focussed on the PASCAL interests of lifelong learning, university engagement in regional development and, learning cities. Details of our major projects will be found in the page menu. These have been funded from a variety of sources, however most have been collaborative studies with local cities, universities and agencies in many countries.
We make efforts to feedback the outcomes and lessons learnt in these studies both to the local project participants and more widely through reports and publications.
