The European Office, Vienna Board of Education
The Vienna Board of Education (Stadtschulrat für Wien) is responsible for the running of more than 700 schools from primary to upper secondary schooling in the Viennese metropolis.
"Nomen est omen": the European Office is a department within the Viennese Board of Education responsible for international, but in particular, for European contacts and projects. The European Office started with the first large EU project: CERNET (Central European Regional Network for Education) www.cernet.at with the neighbouring regions of Györ-Moson-Sopron (HU), Bratislava (SK) and Brno (CZ) in 1996 and has since then developed contacts throughout Europe. These contacts have been the basis for new projects such as EdGATE (Education Gate) www.edgate.eu.com, EdQ (Education Quality) www.edq.eu.com and EdTWIN (Educational Twinning) www.edtwin.eu.
In turn, these EU projects have led to the new CENTRAL EUROPE project ET-struct.
