CEFINET is an information service available on the World Wide Web about French higher studies in engineering. The development of CEFINET was eased through 20 years of investigations and studies on engineering education by Comite d'Etudes sur la Formation d'Ingenieurs. Currently, this service includes databases on engineering education in France, including engineering schools, and general information aimed at foreign students wishing to find their way through a somewhat peculiar maze of colleges and degrees. It is intended to extend the information services in several directions, including employment opportunities, and cross-European information.
