Offer unique services to our members

The ESNcard project, launched in 2005, 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, there were 150.000 ESN cards distributed  to students around Europe. The card is used by over 300 ESN sections in 30 countries.

In 2012, ESN created a website for all ESNCard holders and students to access discounts and deals offered by partners of ESN. Esncard.org is a search engine that gathers over 500 discounts from international, national and local deals around Europe. Furthermore, the website is a membership database for all 150.000 card holders. You can see the website at the following address:

What do we look for in a partner?

ESN is looking for partners that are international in their outlook, scope and operations. We would like to cooperate with companies and organisations that see value in having 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, international mobility, educational exchange and intercultural dialogue. 

Successful partnerships

Since February 2011, ESN has been successfully cooperating with Vistaprint, a company offering online printing services to support the work of our sections. We also work with EF Education First, offering discounted language courses to students supporting our work to promote language learning and international mobility. The young fashion company New Yorker cooperates with us providing clothing solutions for ESN members and attractive discounts for students.

Moreover, to support the travel needs of exchange students, ESN signed two new partnership agreements in Summer 2012 with Brussels Airlines and Eurail.com to offer excellent travel opportunities for students  by air and rail.
