Back in 1953, ISIC was created by students for students and was officially recognized by UNESCO as an international student ID card in 1968 unitl today. Even then, one of the main goals was to promote international exchange and contribute to understanding between different cultures.

Today, flights, hotels and all discounts related to travel are still a central aspect of ISIC. Over the years, however, many more offers from other categories have been added to the benefit portfolio and have made ISIC an indispensable companion for everyday student life: language courses, mobility providers, concert tickets, software, clothing, sports and leisure activities or cultural institutions – ISIC cardholders benefit every day from exclusive offers and services from well-known partners.
