ESN International

Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is a European wide student organisation. Its goal is to support and develop student exchange. It is composed of over 12'000 members from 338 local sections in 34 countries working in Higher Education Institutes (universities, polytechnics, university colleges, etc). ESN is organised on a local, national and international level. The network is in contact with almost 150'000 internationally-minded students.[2]

The aims of ESN are to promote the social and personal integration of the exchange students. The local ESN-sections offer help, guidance and other valuable information to the exchange students hosted by their university. Newcomers find their way in the new environment easier and they can utilise their time in the best way possible to get as much out of their exchange as possible. ESN also represents the needs and expectations of exchange students on the local, national and international level. Provision of relevant information about academic exchange programs and student mobility is one of the aims of ESN as well.
