The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) has launched the Final Report on the XV ESNsurvey, marking the flagship research project’s 15th edition, titled “Making Quality Mobility a Reality for All”.

The ESNsurvey has become one of the most significant tools for monitoring the development of the Erasmus+ programme and learning mobility from a broad perspective. 

This year’s edition is the most comprehensive to date, as it includes approximately 23,000 responses - 17,855 from exchange students, 1,856 from full-degree students, and 3,064 from non-mobile students -, as well as evidence-based policy recommendations targeting European Institutions, National Authorities and Higher Education institutions (HEIs). 

The results are particularly important, considering the current mid-term evaluation of the Erasmus+ programme and the beginning of negotiations related to the Erasmus+ programme 2028-2034. The feedback gathered directly from students, and the evidence-based recommendations play a key role in ESN's policy efforts to contribute to the improvement and widening of the Erasmus+ programme.

This XV edition examines key aspects of the student journey —before, during, and after mobility— covering preparation, support, costs, and study recognition. It addresses themes like Erasmus+ priorities, European Universities Alliances, inclusion, diversity, and digital learning.

Special focus is placed on the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) and the Erasmus Student Charter, aligning the findings with the ECHE monitoring guide to improve transparency, support, and credit recognition in the Erasmus+ Programme. By exploring issues and personal experiences, the ESNsurvey highlights what defines a quality mobility experience and aims to enhance student exchanges.
