On June 14, 2025, Silesian University in Opava officially became a candidate section of ESN. During the National Assembly Ostrava (ČerNA), where national-level elections took place, all 19 existing ESN Czech Republic sections unanimously voted to welcome us as a new candidate section. This marks a major step forward for our university and our international engagement.

• we are officially part of ESN – we have membership cards, merch, and even our own flag,
• we can use the ESN logo and participate in both national and international events,
• while we don’t yet have voting rights, we can already take part in the network’s activities, gain experience, and collaborate with other sections,
• we can look forward to larger, more professional events – and we’re building our own local board (which you can still join!).
