rsiteit van Amsterdam and Hogeschool van Amsterdam make the most of their stay in the Netherlands. Funding for the organization is provided by the Universiteit van Amsterdam and the Hogeschool van Amsterdam together. Members of the University of Amsterdam and the Hogeschool van Amsterdam also provide the organization with supervision and support. ESN Amsterdam aims to foster student mobility through optimizing the social and cultural integration of international students in Amsterdam. We try to achieve this by organizing introduction days, parties, ‘borrels’, weekend trips, excursions and other cultural activities. We also promote contact with Dutch students through our coach system. Lastly, we keep the students informed with the magazine Insiders and a weekly Newsletter. Every semester about 1000 international students join ESN Amsterdam.
