INEP (Introduction to Evidence-based Prevention) is an online educational platform focused on evidence-based prevention. It offers modern training for students, practitioners, educators and those involved in the management and development of prevention systems.
INEP programmes translate current findings in prevention science into a form that can be put into practice. They focus on how to design, implement and develop prevention activities that are effective, safe and in line with current professional standards.
International experience, domestic innovation
INEP combines international experience with domestic expertise. It is based on the principles of evidence-based prevention, builds on the experience gained during the implementation of the UPC and EUPC curricula, and simultaneously develops its own educational programmes that respond to current challenges in prevention, public health and education.
The original INEP programme was established at Charles University as an innovative online learning environment, adapting the content of the European Prevention Curriculum (EUPC) into a format accessible to a wide range of interested parties. Since its inception, it has been used in higher education, in the continuing professional development of specialists, and, gradually, in an international context as well.

A new generation of training programmes expands on the original concept and offers three separate training programmes:
• INEP COREAn updated programme providing a clear introduction to the principles of evidence-based prevention.
• INEP PROA modernised and significantly expanded programme focusing on professional practice, implementation, evaluation and the application of best practice.
• INEP LEADA newly developed programme designed for senior staff, coordinators, managers and policy-makers responsible for strategic decision-making in the field of prevention.
How does INEP work?
All programmes are available online via Moodle and allow learners to study at their own pace. They combine study materials, videos, interactive elements, case studies and assessments of the knowledge acquired. At the same time, they can form part of university-level teaching, professional development and lifelong learning. Graduates of selected programmes can obtain a certificate of completion or a micro-credit as part of lifelong learning.
