00 - Introduction

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.

Helix: Cooperation in Regions - Reception in Brussels October 8

PASCAL is delighted to be accepting an invitation to join our PURE partners, Region Värmland & Karlstad University to exchange experiences on how collaboration and interaction between regions, universities and businesses work and how smart specialisation can contribute to regional growth.  The key question is where do we find best practice and how can we learn from each other?
