Being President means

- having the overview of what is going on in ESN

- having an open ear to every kind of new ideas, suggestions, feedback, complaints, congratulations
- giving new ideas, suggestions, feedback, congratulations
- representing ESN to the outside world (meetings, conferences, seminars etc.)
- representing International student affairs (at the same conferences, seminars, etc. as above)
