Réseau Canopé[1] is a French public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of National Education of France.
In 2014, it replaced the National Centre for Educational Documentation (Centre national de documentation pédagogique, CNDP) and its regional (CRDP) and departmental (CDDP) branches, with Directions Territoriales and Ateliers Canopé as a unified structure under the name Réseau Canopé (decree 2014-1631,[3] December 26, 2014), totalizing 102 places[4] where teachers and people from the teaching community can borrow resources and attend training sessions.
These and a few other institutions formed the Scérén network (Services, Culture, Éditions, Ressources pour l'Éducation nationale: "Services, Culture, Publishing, Resources for National Education").
On September 9, 1970, two decrees[6] separate the IPN into two distinct structures: the French Office of Modern Educational Techniques ("Office français des techniques modernes d'éducation", OFRATEME) and the National Institute for Research and Educational Documentation ("Institut national de recherche et de documentation pédagogique", INRDP).
On January 1, 2011, CNDP takes charge of the National Museum of Education, managed by the INRP.
