PASCAL universities regional engagement (PURE)

PURE is a major international study undertaken by PASCAL International Observatory and operated through from the University of Glasgow.

The central purpose of PURE is to improve what happens in regions, continuing and sustaining good practices. 

PURE has extended and developed previous work of the OECD to a series of new regions, and develops PASCAL International themes through applied consultancy. Nineteen regions were involved in the first cohort from 2009 to 2011. A number of new regions are expected to join in 2011 and beyond.
