What is the ESNcard?
The ESNcard is the membership card of ESN which means that you can access to all the services offered by the ESN and our partners. Additionally you will save a lot of money on our events, because almost all events have special discounts for ESNcard holders (trips, parties, and other activities).

With the ESNcard, you will enjoy thousands of discounts (housing, sport, food, bars, etc.) all over Europe. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to participate in thousands of events (trips, cultural events, sports activities and parties) all year long. The aim of the ESNcard is to support and give opportunities to international students during and after their exchange.
