The International Student Network (ISN) is part of the larger Erasmus Student Network (ESN) which is one of the biggest interdisciplinary student associations in Europe, founded in 1989 to support and develop student exchange.
The main focus of ISN is on all current international and exchange students in Leiden. ISN facilitates academic, social and practical integration through activities and programmes. These activities include cultural and social events, such as trips to various destinations, language exchange, clubs to suit any interest, international dinners and parties. Meanwhile, the ISN Buddy Programme helps international students with academic and practical integration.
