PASCAL International Observatory is pleased to announce the publication of the first details of the forthcoming Learning Cities 2020 Programme.

The Learning Cities 2020 programme consists of a suite of studies to enable cities and regions to maximise their competitive advantage. The brochure featured below and attached introduces the options, ranging from local analysis of the latest data on lifelong learning, skills and economic performance, the benchmarking of current practice, to masterclasses by international experts to help local policy appraisal and development. PASCAL can organise intensive local skills surveys if required. PASCAL will be pleased to tailor a package to meet individual city requirements.

Discussions about participation in this programme are already underway with some cities and regions in the UK and South Africa. If you would like to express an interest in your city joining the any part of the programme, please contact Professor Mike Osborne, Co-director PASCAL International Observatory, University of Glasgow or John Tibbitt, PASCAL vice-chair for policy engagement.  For general enquiries please use the PASCAL International Observatory Contact form.
