ESN Awards

What are the ESN AWARDS?

The ESN Awards are the initiative of the Erasmus Student Network that aims to provide recognition to the work our member organisations do in a span of a year. Each year our local and national organisations submit their initiatives, activities, events, projects, and campaigns that contribute to the mission, vision and values of ESN across 14 different categories. The selected applicants are awarded and given an opportunity to present their submissions in front of the entire network at the awards ceremony.

Award Ceremony

The Award ceremony is held every year on the last day of the Erasmus Generation Meeting.

This year, it will take place on 6th April 2025, in Ancona, Italy, and will count on the participation of over 900 Erasmus+ alumni and internationally-minded young people, as well as important stakeholders in the field of international mobility and higher education.
