Partner Institutions
The Erasmus Student Network works in close cooperation with European and international institutions that contribute to the development of education, youth policies, and international mobility.
Why partnerships matter
Through these institutional partnerships, ESN supports initiatives that promote student exchange, intercultural dialogue, and youth participation in European society. Collaboration with policy-making institutions also helps ensure that the voice of international students is represented in discussions about the future of education and mobility in Europe.
