Bio: Nick Roskams is a law student at KULeuven (Belgium). He became interested in the ideas of liberty at a very early age. While still in high school he joined the youth wing of the Flemish classical liberal party and became a driving force in its local chapter. In college he joined the LVSV, the largest libertarian student movement in Belgium. He was involved with its workings for more than five years and became president of the Leuven chapter and political officer of the National LVSV. During these years he frequently attended international conferences in the US and Europe with libertarian organizations such as FEE, IHS and IES.
Nick has a passion for advocating the ideas of freedom and is looking to pursue this in ESFL and beyond. In the future he hopes to strengthen the liberty movement in Europe.
Favorite Figures in Liberty: Frédéric Bastiat, Murray Rothbard, Milton Friedman, Frank van Dun, Henry D. Thoreau, Penn & Teller
On European Students For Liberty: “Students who are interested in freedom are growing in numbers. ESFL will be making its first steps toward uniting those liberty-minded students all over Europe by providing them with the necessary tools and guidance. The strength of the future liberty movement lies with our young people and it’s up to us to pass the torch.”
