At the centre of the South West Observatory is a Core Unit which coordinates and facilitates network activity.
The SWO works with a broad range of regional and national partners on many issues.
The SWO also worked within a wider network of regional agencies, government departments and academics.
Every year the SWO produced a report entitled The State of the South West.
Published online annually and as a hard copy every three years, this report detailed the facts and figures behind life in the South West.
