An Education Policy Centre
The European Institute of Education and Social Policy (www.eiesp.org) is a non-profit organisation with thirty-four years experience in the analysis of education and training policies in Europe and in the partner countries of the European Union. The institute was founded in 1975 by the European Cultural Foundation to meet a need of the European Commission by contributing to the development of cooperation in education in Europe.
The EIESP contributes through its work and its international network to strengthening cooperation in education in Europe and between Europe and its partners.
The portfolio of projects of the institute covers all the different aspects of lifelong learning: school education, vocational education and training (initial and continuing), adult learning and higher education.
The EIESP has built up a solid reputation as an experienced, international and innovative partner in education policy design, management, reform and evaluation at European, national, regional and institutional levels. The institute contributes to studies for the European Commission and to reform processes in countries in transition and emerging economies and it undertakes evaluations of innovative European projects and programmes.
