ABOUT THE EUROPEAN AGENCY FOR SPECIAL NEEDS 
AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
The European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education (EASNIE) is an independent 
organization that acts as a platform for collaboration and agent for change for the ministries of 
education in its member countries. EASNIE was originally established in 1996, reflecting the need 
for a permanent and systematic structure for European collaboration in the field of special needs 
and inclusive education. The organisation is currently maintained by 31 member countries, covering 
35 jurisdictions, across Europe. Their shared ultimate vision for inclusive education systems is that 
all learners of any age are provided with meaningful, high-quality educational opportunities in their 
local community, alongside their friends and peers. To achieve this vision, EASNIE helps its member 
countries improve their educational policy and practice. Combining the perspectives of policy, practice 
and research, EASNIE provides member countries and stakeholders at the European level with 
evidence-based information and guidance on implementing inclusive education. All EASNIE work is in 
line with and directly supports international and European Union policy initiatives on education.
