More than 20 years of experience. LEO-NET was founded in Maastricht (NL) in 1999, based on needs in the former European LEONARDO programme. That's why it's called LEO-NET, showing its strength and endurance over time.
LEO-NET has a strong network and helps share expertise and good ideas. It's a place where people from different places can work together. Members stay updated and inspired, all working towards the same goals.
LEO-NET supports EU programs 
for youth employment and social issues. Its colours, blue and yellow, show this connection. It talks with policymakers but also has its own ideas.
LEO-NET endorses the UN Sustainable Development Goals in particular
quality education (4) – gender equality (5) – decent work & economic growth (8) – partnerships for the goals (17)
