The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is a non-profit, apolitical association of students and former students and is the key volunteer student organization in international higher education in Europe. Its aim is to support the students while on exchange programs, supplying information and any kind of help that can be voluntarily given by its members. We provide opportunities for self-development and cultural understanding, under the principle of Students Helping Students. ESN Coimbra is a section of the Portuguese network, ESN Portugal, and of the international one, ESN International. ESN International is a pan-European student organisation founded in Copenhagen in 1990. Since then, the network has expanded considerably. At the moment ESN consists of more than 527 sections in 39 countries.
