Consistent with its observatory function, PASCAL brings together material in a growing number of publications, available as commercial publications in well known book and journal series, or on this website. These publications, edited by PASCAL members and Associates, bring together papers from our conferences and significant research and ideas relating to key themes within the PASCAL remit.

Details of books produced by PASCAL are available here.

PASCAL people also produce academic and policy papers and other books; information about these can be found in the People section of the site.
