A number of Briefing Papers have been produced within PURE, both introducing the project and providing guidance for participating regions. These are listed below, and may be downloaded. We have also held two workshops, in Glasgow (in September 2008) and in Vancouver (in May 2009). Material from these workshops are also found below. Finally, other resources related to the project may be found here.

PASCAL sends its sympathies to the people of the PURE region of Darling Downs

Submitted by Glen Postle on January 17, 2011 - 09:18

PASCAL sends its sympathies to the people of the PURE region of Darling Downs and particularly the people of Toowoomba, which has suffered terrible flooding and loss of life. The attached pictures and link to a youtube video sent by PASCAL Associate, Professor Glen Postle, give you some idea of the devastation caused. We hope that the worst is over and our thoughts are with our friends and colleagues.

 

 

The video is of Chalk Drive, Toowoomba, taken from across the road from the Flexi School. You can see the school in some of the shots (click on an image to view/show slideshow).

PURE Interim Synthesis Report

Submitted by Chris Duke on December 15, 2010 - 10:25

This report has two purposes. The first is to inform participants at the PASCAL Conference in Gaborone on 30 November - 2 December about PURE. The second is to provide regions taking part in the PURE project with a summary of common findings, issues and advice.

National government, and increasingly intergovernmental bodies like the European Union and Commission, influence what engagement can take place in local regions. This report is however addressed to two main parties, regional administrations and their communities, and higher education institutions.
