Launched in 2005 under a grant within the framework of Socrates/Grundvig 4, InfoNetAE is an initiative that seeks to enhance international cooperation among publishers in the field of adult education. Since the project’s inception, DVV International has been collaborating with more than 30 partners from over 14 countries on the development of a web-based platform. The network has meanwhile set up an internet portal under the internet address www.infonet-ae. net, where correspondents from more than 25 different coun tries of Europe regularly post reports on topics concerning adult education. The website also provides a vast array of information that is very useful in day-to-day editorial work. Among other things, it contains a comprehensive list of adult education journals and newsletters published in Europe, as well as hyperlinks to the web pages of institutions, agencies, resources, and news sources relevant to the European adult education sector. Every two months, an online newsletter containing the latest news from the various countries involved in the project is posted on the site. Current efforts in the project, which recently entered its second phase, are being devoted to expanding and improving the service.
DVV International operates worldwide with more than 200 partners in over 30 countries.
