With our research impact and study quality EUR can compete with the top European universities. Important values for Erasmus University Rotterdam are daring, curiosity, social engagement, working at the frontier and striving for success.

Profile and focus ensure that Erasmus University attracts special people from all parts of the world. As a result our university is a melting pot of talents of all ages with different nationalities and cultural backgrounds. This diversity is our strength and the basis for innovation and enables us - in the spirit of our namesake Desiderius Erasmus - to train our students to be real global citizens.

As a result of open and sustainable cooperation with regional, national (eg LDE) and international partners Erasmus University generates knowledge of the highest academic level. Being truly connected with our partners and rest of the world is an important prerequisite for the achievement of our strategic objectives.
