MISSION
To cultivate talent and produce knowledge at the academic level to benefit
mankind, business and society, internationally, nationally and regionally
PROFILE
On the basis of an excellent reputation in the areas of economics, business
administration and health, strengthened by law, social sciences, history and arts
and philosophy, the EUR will be navigating its own course in the coming years as:
? melting pot for talent with
? excellent Dutch and English-language bachelor?s programmes as the
basis for leading international master?s specialisations at the interface
of economics, health and society
? focused on excellent fundamental and applied research
? firmly rooted in Rotterdam
? for students in every phase of their lives and from various cultural
backgrounds
? in an open and inspiring learning and working environment.
FOCUS ON A SELECT NUMBER OF
DISCIPLINES
EUR houses a select number of disciplines, with
a concentration in the areas of Medicine and
Health, Economics and Business Administration,
Law, Culture and Society. The university derives
its strength from excellent education and
research in the individual areas and from
challenging connections between these
disciplines, as well as substantive cooperation
with institutions for higher vocational education
(HBO).

Erasmus wants to contribute to answering the questions posed by
society. EUR strives to be a
proud, impact-driven university that offers
excellent academic education for all phases of
life within a focused, recognisable profile. The
university will produce knowledge on an
internationally competitive level and implement
this knowledge in its own region, nationally and
internationally. Valorisation is an obvious task of
education and research. This is manifested in a
broad range of activities and innovations that
have a direct effect on people and society.
Rotterdam is EUR?s natural biotope. The
university functions as a laboratory for the city
and vice versa. The international and culturally
diverse characters of EUR and the city make
studying and working here a unique experience.


Faculty

Number of Faculty Staff Headcount: 2,745 FTE: 2,338

Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.

Number of academic faculty staff who are of foreign nationality. The term 'international' is hereby determined by citizenship. For EU countries, this includes all foreign nationals, even if from another EU state. In Hong Kong, this includes professors from Mainland China. Inclusion and exclusion mirrors those for academic faculty staff. In case of dual citizenship, the 'deciding' criteria should be 'citizenship obtained through birth', basically first passport obtained.
