As from 16 September 2008 the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) has taken over responsibility for the European-level activities of the network and a new European Eurydice unit has been established in the Agency.

Eurydice provides a vast source of information, including detailed descriptions of how European education systems are organised and how they function and comparative studies covering various aspects of education systems, such as the funding of higher education, language teaching, the teaching profession and so on. This information is provided free of charge.
