2. promote the exchange of information
3. support new planning researchers and publications
4. disseminate upcoming events in planning and research
5. develop international communication in research and educational activity
6. explore new methods of planning education and knowledge development
7. encourage the examination of planning theory against practice
8. provide a sounding board for futures thinking and innovation
Members of PERN receive quarterly updates through an e-mailed Bulletin.
