WHAT IS ESN?

Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is one of the biggest interdisciplinary student associations in
Europe. It was born on the 16th October 1989 and legally registered in 1990 for
supporting and developing student exchange.

We are present in 374 Higher Education Institutions from 35 countries. The network is constantly developing and expanding.

ESN is working in Higher Education (HE):

•  offering services to 150.000
  students 
•  mainly on a volunteer basis 
• with an average annual growth rate
  of 12,3% since 1990

ESN is operating on three levels, Local, National and International

ESN works for the
creation of a more mobile and flexible education environment by supporting and
developing the student exchange from different levels, and providing an
intercultural experience also to those students who cannot access a period
abroad ("internationalisation at home")
