RTPI launches research network to boost information exchange

Planning, 25 July 2008

Promoting stronger links between planning theory and practice is the aim of a new institute network that will allow practitioners, researchers and educators to share ideas and shape the future direction of spatial planning.

Launched at this month's Planning Convention, the planning education and research network (PERN) is designed to promote interaction between the academic and the practice communities in planning.

RTPI director of education and lifelong learning Sue Percy explained: "We need to ensure that our left hand knows what our right hand is doing. Creating stronger links between practitioners, educators and researchers will enable the free flow of information so that spatial planning research and analysis is more readily absorbed into practice."

The addition of PERN takes the number of RTPI networks and associations to 15.
