The European Seniors’ Union - ESU is a network of political seniors’ associatons in Europe. The ESU is a member association of the European People’s Party (EPP) and is represented in 27 countries with 34 organisations. It is led by a board, which gets elected every three years. Since 2013 An Hermans is elected President of the association. Secretary general of the association is Guido Dumon.

We believe in people of all generations to lead Europe to future developments.

We want our economies to return to growth that produces jobs, with young people looking to their future with confidence, seniors feeling proud of their accomplishments and families protected and strengthened to endorse the challenges and risks of changing societies. One of the key challenges of today’s societies is demographic change. The EU, the Member States and all citizens, together we are called to cope with the gains, strengths and limitations of ageing societies. We, senior citizens, want to be part of a better Europe for all ages.
