2017 has been a special year for European Schoolnet, as we have celebrated 20 years of transforming education, together with all our members and stakeholders across Europe and beyond. Having begun as a network of 18 Ministries of Education in 1997, we currently have 31 members, all united in our mission to test promising innovative practices, share evidence about their impact, and support mainstreaming effective teaching and learning practices for all students.

European Schoolnet is delighted to welcome back Nancy Knowlton and Tony Cann to the Future Classroom Lab with their new companies (Nureva and Learning by Questions), set to be important players on the educational technology scene.
