University

The University describes itself as an "international knowledge workshop for critical thinking and academic training, driven by a strong focus on current social issues."
The university concentrates its expertise on issues of management, organisation and policy in the public and private sectors on the one hand, as well as on the field of sickness and health care. The university considers as its core tasks: to generate knowledge from research, to share knowledge in education and to transfer knowledge to the community. Its driving forces are academic curiosity, critical reflection and social engagement.

历史

Erasmus University Rotterdam has existed in its present form since 1973. Its history, however, dates back to 1913, the year in which the Netherlands School of Commerce was founded through private initiative with broad support from the Rotterdam business community. The statutory recognition of higher education in commerce and economics as an academic discipline resulted in 1939 in a change of name. The NHH became the NEH or Netherlands School of Economics. The growing complexity of society led in the 1960s to the arrival of the faculties of Law and Social Sciences, followed in later decades by Philosophy, History and Arts, and Business Administration.

From 1950, the Foundation for Higher Clinical Education used its best efforts to get a full academic medical study programme established in Rotterdam, and with success: In 1966, the government established the Medical Faculty Rotterdam, housed next to Dijkzigt Hospital. Together with the Sophia Children's Hospital and the Daniel den Hoed Clinic, it forms the University Hospital Rotterdam, which as of 1 January 2003 bears the name Erasmus MC. In 1973, the Medical Faculty Rotterdam and the Netherlands School of Economics merged to become Erasmus University Rotterdam – the first university in the Netherlands named after a person, a man to whom Rotterdam owes the reputation it has held for centuries in the academic world, Desiderius Erasmus.

University structure

Erasmus University Rotterdam has bundled its education and research in three domains in which the university has a national and international reputation to maintain:

• Economics and Management
  • Erasmus School of Economics (ESE)
  • Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM)
• Medicine and Health Sciences
  • Erasmus MC
  • Institute of Health Policy and Management (iBMG)
• Law, Culture and Society
  • Erasmus School of Law (ESL)
  • Faculty of Social Sciences
  • Faculty of History and Arts
  • Faculty of Philosophy

Economics and management

This domain includes the Erasmus School of Economics and the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University.

This domain has a very strong reputation in education as well as in research. Its economics programmes and management programmes attract students and postgraduates from all over the world. The research schools Erasmus Research Institute for Management (ERIM) and the Tinbergen Institute attract PhD students, research fellows, PostDocs and visiting professors of repute from all corners of the world. Other joint ventures are the English-language programmes International Business Administration (IBA), International Bachelor of Economics and Business Economics (IBEB), the Erasmus Executive Development programme (EED), the Erasmus University Centre for Contract Research and Business Support (ERBS) and the European Institute for Comparative Urban Research (Euricur).

Medicine and health

This domain includes the Erasmus MC and the Institute of Health Policy and Management (iBMG).

Erasmus Medical Center is the new name for the university medical centre in Rotterdam, which is a merger of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the University Hospital Rotterdam (Dijkzigt, Sophia, Daniel den Hoed clinic). This centre for knowledge development, training and care in the field of sickness and health – the largest of its kind in Europe – is renowned nationally and internationally. The research combines its internationally acknowledged expertise in the fields of clinical sciences, health sciences and biomedical sciences. The biomedical cluster plays a leading role in the field of genomics (analysis of genes and proteins) and bioinformatics. The Forensic Molecular Biology department works together with the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). Major long-term genetic epidemiological studies among the elderly and children are Erasmus Rotterdam Health for the Elderly (ERGO) and Generation R respectively. The institute of Health Policy and Management (iBMG) forms a bridge between medicine and the health sciences on the one hand and social sciences on the other.

Law, Culture and Society

This domain includes the Erasmus School of Law, the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of History and Arts and the Faculty of Philosophy.

The research in this domain focuses on the complexity of global society and the link between economic and social problems on the one hand and law, history and culture on the other. It provides a critical reflection on research and academic training from the point of view of specialist fields like philosophy and ethics. The domain has ground in common not only with economics and management, but also with the medical and health sciences.

Sustainability

On the 9th of September 2009—also known as Sustainability Day—GreenEUR was launched officially. During this day, GreenEUR organized several on-campus activities in cooperation with Greening the Campus. In the last couple of months, a select group of students have worked hard to build an organization by students—and for students interested in sustainability. The mission of GreenEUR is two folded: "We want to inspire students and initiate projects to make the Erasmus University more sustainable" Since april 2010 GreenEUR is officially recognized by the Executive Board. Which means the Erasmus University believes in our mission and will allocate sufficient resources for the pursuit of the mission.
