The Erasmus Student Network is thrilled to take part in the Annual Conference of the European Association of International Education, one of our long-standing partners with whom we have collaborated for years to improve international education and raise the voice of the Erasmus Generation.

As the biggest student association working in the field of international student mobility and the largest Erasmus alumni network in the world, the Erasmus Student Network is delighted to join the International Education community to discuss the most pressing issues in the internationalisation field. 

Additionally, we are eager to showcase the results of the XV ESNsurvey, whose preliminary findings are set to be published soon. We anticipate the opportunity to present these results to the members of the EAIE, further enriching the conversations around international education. The insights gathered from the survey will undoubtedly contribute to the collective understanding of the current state and future trends in internationalisation.

A delegation of ESN volunteers from across our network will also be part of the conference, supporting participants to make the most out of their conference experience. On top of that, representatives from our member organisations, ESN Romania, ESN Switzerland, ESN Poland and ESN Austria, will also take part in it. 

We are pleased to contribute to the content of the event with a number of sessions and posters on topics such as barriers faced by students, widening participation in student mobility,  making international student mobility more sustainable or digitalisation and simplification of procedures:
