About ETEN

Global Understanding through Education
The European Teacher Education Network was founded in 1988. Since 2018 we are a non-profit organisation under Belgian law.

We aim to promote a wide range of cooperation, exchange, research, and publication possibilities for:
• universities and institutions engaged in Higher Vocational Education;
• local education and social authorities; and
• relevant associations of teacher and social educators.

ETEN operates within:
• Erasmus+ and other EU and International programmes;
• bi-lateral agreements between academic institutions;
• NORDPLUS for partners in the Nordic countries; and
• programmes financed from other available sources.
