EDEN is a database containing best practices of CBC collected from European actors. The best practices have been collected by the Council of Europe and ISIG (Istituto di Sociologia Internazionale di Gorizia) with a questionnaire sent to the CBC offices of more than 20 European countries.

EDEN is based on the principle that knowledge is power, giving to policy-makers and administrators the opportunity to learn from their European colleagues. Having to face an obstacle arisen during the implementation of a CBC activity, the institutional actor can now consult this database, look for similar issues and obstacles, and see what solutions have been found by other institutions.
