Universities and regions: engagement for regional development

Issues of policy and practice arising from the PASCAL PURE programme.

This paper highlights issues of policy and practice for securing effective engagement between regional authorities and universities to enhance regional development.  It draws particularly on experience reported in the 17 regions in different parts of the world taking part in the Pascal PURE programme to offer practical suggestions for regions and universities to apply within the particular contexts in which they find themselves.

National Strategies for Implementing Life Long Learning (LLL): an International Perspective

This Hot Topic paper returns to a central theme for PASCAL, which is the development and implementation of lifelong learning.    Unlike earlier HTs on the theme, Jarl Bengtsson is concerned less with the concept of lifelong learning but much more with those factors at national level which need to be addressed if substantial progress is to be made in making a reality of the widespread policy commitments which are in place in most EU countries and amongst OECD member countries around the world.
