Through their numerous international networks and partnerships, CNFPT and INET support the promotion and development of training for local public officials at European and international levels, and participate in discussions about public administration, decentralisation and local governance, administrative training and training engineering.
This partner-based approach also makes it possible to produce resources on European and international issues, and make them available to the French authorities.
CNFPT being almost the only model of its type in Europe and internationally, INET represents CNFPT in many of these networks.
INET and CNFPT are members of 7 European and international public administration networks. CNFPT is currently serving as the Europe vice-president of both IASIA (International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration) and the networks and innovative projects of ENTO (European training organisation network for regional and local authorities).
