European Civil Service Training Network

Last updated

The European Civil Service Training Network (or ENTO) was a network which grouped together the local and regional training establishments and programmes for nearly all 47 Council of Europe member states.

While the idea for a European network such as this was first proposed by the Council of Europe, it became an independent association in 1995 and grouped a wide variety of members together some with extensive experience and others which have been relatively recently created or organized. According to a 2024 news release published on their website, ENTO is no longer an independent association of the Council of Europe. [1]
