EASNIE has carried out consultancy work with several European and international organisations, including the European Commission, the European Parliament, UNESCO and the European Schools.
European Schools
External Evaluation of the Implementation of the European Schools’ Action Plan on Educational Support and Inclusive Education
The European Schools are based in six EU countries. In 2021, the European Schools’ Board of Governors (comprising the EU Ministries of Education and the European Commission) commissioned EASNIE to conduct a formative evaluation of the implementation of the European Schools’ Action Plan on Educational Support and Inclusive Education.
The final evaluation report is available on the European Schools website.
Inclusive Education in Action
A joint initiative by UNESCO and EASNIE since 2009, Inclusive Education in Action (IEA) is a unique online global resource base which facilitates information sharing and enhances knowledge and understanding of inclusive education.
The IEA website provides a comprehensive collection of case studies and resources on inclusive approaches to legislation, policies, programmes and practices from around the world, benefiting both policy-makers and practitioners.

Empowering Teachers to Promote Inclusive Education
In 2015, EASNIE contributed to a knowledge base on inclusive approaches to teaching and learning, on UNESCO’s behalf. The Empowering Teachers work built in part on EASNIE’s Teacher Education for Inclusion activity (2009–2012).
The case study focusing on empowering teachers to meet diverse learning needs and promote inclusive education is available on EASNIE’s website, together with a literature review.
Model Policy for ICTs in Education for Persons with Disabilities
In 2014, EASNIE completed a contract for UNESCO to develop a Model Policy for Inclusive ICTs in Education. This contract also led to consultancy work with UNESCO in 2016 on an Annex on the Use of ICT for People with Disabilities in Uganda’s Policy for Special Needs and Inclusive Education, and input to Rwanda’s Digital Talent Policy.
