About us

ESN’s basic activities, - the integration and welcoming of exchange students -, are carried out by its local sections. A section is a group of local students from the host universities. They are the direct contact point for incoming students and organise all the social or cultural events and are an important source for all kind of information.

Together, all ESN sections in Europe form the International Network, called ESN International. The International Network is managed by an executive board, which is elected by the AGM (annual general meeting) of all sections. Its task is to define the general policy and orientation of the whole network.

In some countries, sections are also regrouped in a national board. These national boards offer the possibility to achieve goals of national interest and to strengthen the national network.
