Studentenwerk

[1] Studentenwerke provide public services for the economic, social, medical and cultural support for students enrolled at German universities.

The national association includes multiple stakeholders of German society and collaborates with other students' affairs organizations worldwide.

[15] The development of collaboration with countries that have recently joined the European Union or are candidates to accession is another core task in international relations.

[16][17] ECStA’s goal is to improve the social infrastructure at higher education institutions and to support cooperation between organisations that are active in this field.

With its actions, ECStA aims to support student mobility for participants of exchange programs and for free movers, who are organising and financing their studies abroad themselves.

Finally, ECStA works as a consulting body for the institutions of the European Union as well as for national governments in all questions regarding the social framework of studying.
