ESN VSE Prague and ESN

ESN VSE Prague was established in 1998 (named Buddy System back then) to help international students coming at the Prague University of Economics and Business and in 2002 Buddy System was accepted as one of the members of the international student organization Erasmus Student Network (ESN). Official name of the organization was hereby changed to „ESN VŠE Praha – Buddy System“, and in 2019, we changed our name again to “ESN VSE Prague”, which was commonly used already before. The membership of our organization in ESN has brought us an increase of credibility, improvement of offered services for Czech and international students and last but not least the possibility of international cooperation with other ESN sections and international development of ESN members.
