Students first.
Opportunities without borders.

Student Network of Linz (SNL) is a youth-led non-profit association based in Linz, Austria. We create educational, international and community-based opportunities that help students and young people develop skills, build meaningful connections and participate more actively in society. Our work brings together Erasmus+, creativity, technology, intercultural learning and advocacy for student rights.

Four areas. One student-focused mission.

Erasmus+ access

We organise Erasmus+ KA1 and KA2 projects, including youth exchanges, training courses and international cooperation initiatives. These experiences give students and young people opportunities to learn, travel, connect and gain practical experience across Europe.

Creativity meets technology

We combine art, digital tools, artificial intelligence and non-formal education to make learning more practical, creative and relevant. Our activities encourage young people to explore ideas, develop new skills and express themselves with confidence.

Connection and belonging

We bring students and young people from different cultural and social backgrounds together. Through local activities and international projects, we create inclusive spaces where cultural exchange can grow into friendship, confidence and a genuine sense of belonging.

Student rights and advocacy

We help students understand their rights, access reliable information and make their voices heard. We promote equality, inclusion, human rights, fair treatment and meaningful youth participation within universities and the wider community.

Built by young people, for young people.

SNL was established by students who believe that education should extend beyond the classroom and opportunities should not depend on someone’s background, university or previous international experience. We are a non-profit, youth-led and volunteer-driven association that works locally in Linz and internationally across Europe.

Who we work with

Students, young people, universities, youth organisations and Erasmus+ partners — with particular attention to people facing fewer opportunities.

What we bring

Experience in Erasmus+ project development, non-formal education, digital communication, creative facilitation and international cooperation.

How we work

Through accessible activities, active participation and partnerships that allow young people to shape projects rather than simply attend them.

Independent networks. Shared opportunities.

SNL also provides an umbrella for student-led networks connected to Linz’s universities. Each member network keeps its own identity, team and activities while gaining access to shared knowledge, partnerships, visibility and international opportunities.

Shared knowledge

Member networks can benefit from Erasmus+ experience, practical tools, contacts and partnership opportunities.

Wider reach

Projects, events and open calls can reach students across different campuses and communities in Linz.

Independent identities

Every member network keeps its own name, team and direction. SNL supports cooperation without replacing their identity.

SNJKU

Student Network of Johannes Kepler University is the first network operating under the SNL umbrella. It connects the JKU student community with Erasmus+ projects, non-formal learning, digital skills, intercultural exchange and inclusive international opportunities.

Learn locally. Connect internationally. Create change together.

Whether through an Erasmus+ project, a creative workshop, a local activity or student advocacy, SNL helps young people turn participation into experience and ideas into action.
