Three Members of ESN Hradec Králové Join the National Board – A Historic Achievement for the University of Hradec Králové

Author: Veronika Plchová

We are proud to announce that three members of our student organisation, ESN Hradec Králové – who are either current or former students of the University of Hradec Králové –have been elected to the National Board of ESN Czech Republic for the academic year 2025/2026. This marks a significant milestone not only for the organisation itself but also for our university.

Such strong representation at the national leadership level is a first in the history of ESN Hradec Králové since its founding in 2003. It is a testament to the consistent quality of work by members of our local section, their engagement in the international student community, and the growing prestige of the University of Hradec Králové both nationally and internationally.

  • Veronika Plchová, President 
  • Martin Petrovický, Communication Manager 
  • Šimon Slabý, IT Manager 

Their election to the National Board is a result not only of their personal dedication but also of the ongoing support they have received from the university and the local community. Their success will also positively impact students in Hradec Králové—bringing new opportunities to connect with other sections in the Czech Republic and abroad, and offering a stronger voice in student representation at the European level. 

ESN (Erasmus Student Network) is the largest student organisation in Europe, supporting student mobility, integration into local culture and communities, and the development of intercultural dialogue. ESN Hradec Králové, operating under the University of Hradec Králové, has long been dedicated to integrating international students and creating space for their active involvement in university life. 

We congratulate all three and wish them much success in their roles on the National Board!
