Mission

“It’s the bit that Europe’s founding fathers left out. We are building a great new edifice of freedom without a free press, which mirrors and shadows that growth. This has to be ground up, built on individual contacts and individual enthusiasms. We have to start building our own public opinion, and the moment is now.”
Peter Preston (2005)
What ESNA stands for:
Objectivity
ESNA is an independent journalistic observer and publisher of objective information. We act as an impartial, informed and balanced mediator between the European higher education community, policy makers in EU and national government, and the wider media. Our services overcome language barriers and promote understanding and communication, diversity and respect.
Expertise
Our international team of highly qualified editors, experienced freelancers and young correspondents work closely with our network of researchers and experts within the field, to provide a balanced, insightful and informed service.
Specializing solely in Higher Education news enables our team of skilled journalists to focus and ensure the most significant developments, often over-looked by the mass media, are teased out and brought to the attention of our subscribers.
European identity
Aware of Europe’s rich history and the ties that inevitably bind it, ESNA seeks to bring the news of it’s knowledge systems to those forging and securing it’s future.
The ESNA vision is “openness to the world” and the promotion of unity and diversity in a multicultural space.
Based in Berlin, ESNA works with a team of correspondents across Europe, to mediate the most significant developments within European Higher Education.
