Offer unique services to our members
The ESNcard project, launched in 2004, aims to create an international student card for all exchange students and ESN volunteers. The ESNcard gives students the possibility to benefit from unique partnerships, offers and discounts on the local, national and international level. In 2012, ESN created a website for all ESNcard holders and students to access deals and discounts offered by partners of ESN. ESNcard.org is a search engine that gathers almost 2.000 discounts from international, national and local deals all over Europe.
In 2016, there were 140.000 ESNcards distributed to students in Europe. The ESNcard is used by over 500+ ESN sections in 40 countries. Furthermore, the website ESNcard.org is a membership database for all 140.000 ESNcard holders.
What do we look for in a partner?
ESN is looking for partners that are national or international in their operations, outlook and scope. We would like to cooperate with companies and organisations that see value in having national or international, multicultural and multilingual teams working together, much like ESN. Furthermore, we are looking for partners that wish to support the work of ESN and thus, educational exchange, intercultural dialogue and international mobility.
