ReferNet is a European network established by the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP). It aims to meet the growing demand for comparable information on policies and developments in the area of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the European Union.

ReferNet provides a decentralised forum for exchanging information. It is based on national consortia of the 29 participating countries (the 27 EU member states as well as Norway and Island), which are made up of VET stakeholders. The Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) is the German coordinator. The German consortium mainly consists of the members of the AG BFN community.

The main tasks are:

Documenting national activities in the VET field and dissemination CEDEFOP information;

Gathering and analyzing information on national VET systems and their development;

Updating the German entries of the CEDEFOP database VET-Bib.
