Please find featured below and attached the No 9 PIMA Newsletter, for December 2016.Here you will find reference to a Special Interest Group (SIG) on LIfelong Learning and the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) run by PIMA and led by RMIT PASCAL Co-Director and PIMA Member Professor Bruce Wilson. If you would like more information on this SIG (which will naturally feature on the Website as work proceeds) please contact Bruce. It is hoped to launch one or two more SIGs in coming months, adding to the 'suite' of PASCAL's SIGs following No 1 led by Ilpo.

PIMA is part of the total PASCAL endeavour to promote and advance our shared values and purposes in an rapidly changing world. It seeks to support and complement the central thrust of Board policies, adding to the suite in ways and areas that the Board may not be able directly to undertake. The PIMA Committee is currently being renewed ahead of the February 2017 PIMA AGM. I've no doubt that the new Committee will continue the same broad purposes and approaches being fashioned this year.
