More networks related to education and training in safety and health
ENETOSH's work is based on a strategic approach with a comprehensive set of strategic objectives, operational targets, indicators and measures, complemented by an action plan: ENETOSH Strategic Framework 2021-2025.
The network was set up with financial support from the European Commission under the LEONARDO DA VINCI program (for a project phase from 10/2005 to 09/2007). The project started with 13 partners from 10 countries.
In October 2009, ENETOSH was awarded the "LEONARDO Prize 2009 Innovation in Practice" by the National Agency Education for Europe at the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) for outstanding EU projects that have inspiring results and impact on education and training in practice.
In 2015, ENETOSH celebrated its 10th birthday at the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) in Bilbao.
