The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.

PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
