The information exchange conducted within the framework of ReferNet is decentralised and the network is based on the national consortia established in 28 EU Member States, as well as in Norway and in Iceland by key partners with vested interests in the field of vocational education and training. The network brings together organisations with the shared interest of developing opportunities for vocational training and education, stimulating the exchange of information supporting the creation of partnerships. Each consortium is directed by a national coordinator who is responsible for the satisfactory fulfilment of the network’s tasks.
Hungary joined to the network in 2004.
