The Australian Student Environment Network (ASEN) is the national network of students active on environmental justice issues. We are made up of the state environment networks, which are made of campus environment collectives. There are 37 campuses in Australia, and most have environment collectives.

We are a non-hierarchical grassroots network and are constantly evolving, depending on what students are doing in our collectives and communities. ASEN was created by and continues to be organised by young activists committed to change. Students use our network to organise local campaigns, share information and resources, embark on national campaigns such as climate change and no nuclear, and work alongside Indigenous peoples in their fight for sovereignty and an end to genocide.

In its biggest form, ASEN meets at the Students of Sustainability (SoS) conference every July. ASEN also has a Summer Gathering around the Invasion Day Corroboree at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, to create a strategic plan for the year, and share skills and knowledge with environment activists from across Australia.

ASEN holds an annual Summer Training Camp with over sixty students from across Australia meet for a week of training and skillshares on collective organising, developing campaign strategies, strategic questions, media, non-violent direct action, and more.
