The ETINED Platform is a network of specialists appointed by member States of the Council of Europe and of States Parties to the European Cultural Convention.
The Platform wants to propose a new approach based on the idea that quality education will only be achieved, and corruption effectively addressed, if all relevant sectors of society commit fully to fundamental positive ethical principles for public and professional life, rather than relying only upon top-down mechanistic regulatory measures.

ETINED wants to help develop a culture of democracy and participation, grounded in the principles of ethics, transparency, and integrity. Corruption should be fought through legal norms and structures, but it is not enough. It must also be considered unacceptable by stakeholders and the public at large.
The mission is to share information and good practices in the field of transparency and integrity in education; contribute to the development of adequate answers to challenges that corruption poses to the sector of education and higher education; create a virtuous cycle in education, whereby all actors commit to fundamental positive ethical principles; develop capacity-building for all actors.
