• Addressing various issues concerning student mobility and International Higher Education in Europe.
• Constant learning about the developments of the EHEA – European Higher Education Area.
• Identifying future education related projects in collaboration with the CNR and the Board.
• Initiating new and using existing forms of representation.
• Educating ESN members about educational policies in Europe.
• Developing new roles in the national level and support the relations with the NAs.

The Committee consists of the President of ESN AISBL; the Chairing Team, composed of the main Chair and two Vice-Chairs, all three elected by the Council of National Representatives; the regular members and an advisory team made of Alumni members.
