Publications

ENESET produces a wide range of publications to inform and support evidence-based policymaking on the social and economic dimensions of education and training.

These include analytical reports, timely ad hoc reports and other targeted outputs tailored to the European Commission’s and Member States’ priorities and needs.

These publications are also disseminated through a multi-channel communication strategy, including the ENESET website, other DG EAC communication channels, ENESET newsletters, and ENESET ‘Research to Policy’ webinars.

Publications produced before the establishment of ENESET—between 2015 and 2025 under the NESET and EENEE networks—can also be found on the website, while older publications are available upon request.
