Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is the biggest student association in Europe.
Born on the 16th October 1989 and legally registered in 1990, we are here to support and develop student exchange.
ESN operates on three levels: Local, National, and International. We work for the creation of a more mobile and flexible education environment by supporting student exchange and providing an intercultural experience also to those students who cannot access a period abroad ("internationalisation at home").
Aims & Principles
In synthesis, ESN works to:
- Work in the interest of international students
- Improve social and practical integration
- Represent needs and rights on all levels
- Provide relevant mobility information
- Motivate students to study abroad
- Help with reintegration of homecoming students
- Improve accessibility of student mobility
- Care about its members
- Value volunteering and active citizenship
Who are we for?
🏠 Homecoming Students
The students who are returning from exchange are being supported in the reintegration process in their home countries by keeping contact with an international environment. Many local sections are set up by former exchange students who understand the challenges of a foreign environment.
✈️ Exchange Students
Our main focus! We help current exchange students who often face problems in their new environments. ESN offers help in the academic, social, and practical integration process.
This is done through cultural and social events (trips, film nights, food festivals, parties) and mentor systems.
