The card of the Erasmus Generation

What is the ESNcard?

Your membership card to the Erasmus Generation

Did you know that each year more than 150,000 international students get their ESNcard? But what is the ESNcard and what is it used for?

Simply put, ESNcard is the membership card to the Erasmus Generation. A card that carries the memories of your best times spent abroad with constant new experiences and lots of international friends.

And yes, it also gives you access to over 1500 discounts and special deals all around Europe, because apparently joy and practicality are allowed to coexist.
