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.
