Mission & Goals
European Schoolnet (hereafter called EUN) is a network of Ministries of Education and national and regional agencies from across Europe, leading educational innovation at European level. As a major international non-profit organisation, European Schoolnet operates key European services in education on behalf of member Ministries of Education, the European Commission, and industry partners. We act as the interface between education policy, research and practice, and as the facilitator of ‘the network of networks’ – bringing Ministries, schools, research and industry into contact for fruitful exchange and collaboration. Our mission and remit is to support education stakeholders in Europe in the transformation of education processes for 21st century digitalized societies. We do so by providing usable evidence and data; supporting schools and teachers in their teaching practices; developing and sustaining a network of schools engaged in innovative teaching and learning approaches.
