For example, its „Department of Human Development, Education, and Employment“ aims at supporting the cooperation between the North and South American member states in educational matters. It created the „Inter-American Teacher Educator Network“ (ITEN) and runs the „Regional Education Indicators Project“ (PRIE) which provides educational indicators for North and South America. Many more links and information can be found in the list, like projects (e.g. the „Educational Portal of the Americas“), research, a magazine, scholarships, and more.

The area orientation website (Landeskundiche Informationsseite/ LIS) on Brazil is one out of more than 30 profiles provided by the preparatory institution for development co-operation (V-EZ) of the InWEnt together with four partner institutions. Structured texts have been elaborated as an information source for experts who prepare themselves for an assignment to work in the respective country. However educational information is not the focal point of these pages. Explicitly it exists only in brief or implicitly imbedded in this comprehensive overview. Since the observation and interpretation of educational processes requires a solid knowledge of the socioeconomic conditions of the country concerned, this „area orientation“ is highly recommended. It comprises the following issues: Country Overview; State and Policy; Economy and Development; Culture and Society; Supplementary Facts and Information. From January 2011 onwards InWent is part of the GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit).

One of the most interesting parts of the website is the Open Access catalogue with fulltext books and papers. CELEI furthermore publishes a journal which is Open Access.
