The EdReNe Network, co-funded by the European Union's eContentplus program, aims to improve the accessibility and dissemination of educational resources across Europe. It serves as a platform for teachers, librarians, and students to search, browse, download, and upload various learning materials, including textbooks and digital resources. The network also supports producers in managing and distributing their content. Through strategic seminars and guidelines, EdReNe fosters collaboration among educational stakeholders to optimize learning resource repositories and foster innovation in educational technology.
