ESN Italia: The National Network

ESN Italia is the Italian network of university associations belonging to Erasmus Student Network International, the largest student organization in Europe founded in Copenhagen in 1990. Our goal? To promote student mobility and provide an information and support service made by students for students.

The Origins (and Parma's role)

The Italian network was officially born on October 22, 1994. And do you know the best part? Parma was one of the founding sections! Together with Siena, Pavia, Milan, Trento, Bologna, and Genoa, we created this big family to coordinate activities at a national level.
