PASCAL International Observatory

PASCAL International Observatory is a global alliance of decision makers, academic entrepreneurs, researchers, policy analysts, and locally engaged practitioners from government, higher education, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the private sector.  PASCAL was founded in 2002 to extend the path-finding work on learning regions and cities of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). 

PASCAL helps decision makers design and implement regional development strategies that balance economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability.  PASCAL reflects the values, commitments, and skills of experts who see the importance of place, social capital, and lifelong learning.  Regions are sub-national geographies, cities, suburban and rural districts, as well as defined communities that span jurisdictional borders.
