useful links (for ESN Graz)
During your time in ESN Graz or within the department responsible for exchange students sooner or later you will need references from the following collection (will be updated regularly and does NOT include our ESN tools on this website):
- ESN Galaxy
This is THE ESN account in the whole network, also links to a lot of further internal services like Webshop, Livestream, international Wiki, (inter)national event registration, ... (access with your ESN Galaxy account!)
- ESN Austria Wiki
Information about the ESN structure in Austria, documents for national events and meetings, guide lines,... (access with your ESN Galaxy account!)
- Cloud (Google Drive)
Our temporary solution on the local level in Graz until we have a better cloud and wiki system with right management! Here you will find a lot of guide lines, documentations and documents necessary for the work in ESN Graz (access will be handed over after you are accepted as a team member!).
[Might be replaced by the HTU Cloud, a nextcloud system, which we are testing at the moment, still not officially rolled out to the whole ESN team!

- Finances
This workshop is aimed at the whole team, tries to build up an understanding of the financial structure at ESN Graz - and is NOT to be understood as a treasurer introduction. This knowledge is not required for an active membership in ESN Graz, but recommended to understand quite a few topics in the board much better. As a supplement, questions may be directed towards the treasurer ;)
Language: very Austrian / status: Nov. 2019 (except for the name of our department at the students' union probably still valid for a long time)ESN Graz is supporting other organisations under specified rules (IMPORTANT: as the students' union is not allowed to donate, it always must be named 'support'). More details why and how you will find in a description of internal principles for outgoing financial support (German only) and in the fundraising information (used for the Charity Pub Quiz publication). A public overview is also planned.
