One of SSN's core tasks is to look after the interests of the student sports community. SSN is committed to this at both national and international level. 'Lobby' has also become an important topic in the long-term policy plan.
On a national level, SSN is committed to defending the interests of the student sports in the Netherlands. We try to improve the position of sports and students and we try to get important themes on the national agenda. In addition, SSN also responds to national developments. SSN maintains good contact with its members to retrieve
information about the needs and possible issues that the local parties are dealing with
