Post-conference tours at 12th PASCAL Conference in Catania

We have made arrangements with a local tour operator to offer special prices to Conference attendees wishing to take advantage of the spectacular locations close to Catania.

Future PASCAL Developments – Associates and Members

The expansion of PASCAL International Observatory this Spring is an opportunity to strengthen the links among the universities that host PASCAL Centres, clarifying their roles and responsibilities.  This process, which could take several months, may take the form of a new memorandum, superseding previous agreements exchanged among the host institutions.

Random Reflections by Dr. Rajesh Tandon – August 2015

I am returning to random reflections once again, for your perusal below:

Friends of PASCAL Association

Following an initial founding meeting held in Melbourne in February this year a Friends of PASCAL Association was formed on 4 July 2015, and is registered in Melbourne, Victoria, in Australia. This will be a valuable supplement to the work of the International Observatory. It sits very well with changes in governance arrangements under way with the Board, especially its new and wider concept of membership.

What I will say in Catania - close dialogue between researchers, policy developers and practitioners in culture pays off!

I am very much looking forward to the 12th PASCAL conference in Catania where I am presenting in the cultural strand. I hope that I may be able to provide something there as my experience from PASCAL comes from my dual position – working both as a researcher for Linköping University and The Nordic Centre of Heritage Learning & Creativity, and as managing director for the Jamtli Foundation which primarily runs one larger and three smaller museums in the region of Jämtland in the middle of Sweden.
