ReferNet - European network for professional information and expertise
ReferNet publications offer a wide variety of information on the vocational education and training (VET) systems in individual European countries.
Established by CEDEFOP (European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) in 2002, ReferNet is a European information network for vocational education and training. ReferNet consortia, in which institutions and organisations of relevance in VET are represented, work in the 27 EU Member States, Norway and Iceland.
