Based on our internal career policy, internal candidates are given a prior position, relative to external candidates. The Erasmus University Rotterdam aspires to be an inclusive organisation where everyone feels at home and therefore gets the opportunity to excel. The university believes in the enrichment a mix of different people brings. That is why we strive to be a reflection of our student population and the city of Rotterdam with all its differences.
Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) is an internationally oriented university with a strong social orientation in its education and research. Our scientists and students work in close collaboration with internal and external parties to solve global, social challenges, inspired by the always dynamic and cosmopolitan Rotterdam. Our mission is therefore "Creating positive societal impact". Our academic education is intensive, active and application oriented. Our research increasingly takes place in multidisciplinary teams, which are strongly intertwined with international networks. With our research impact and thanks to the high quality of education, EUR can compete with the top European universities. The Erasmian values function as our internal compass and make Erasmus University recognizable to the outside world: entrepreneurial, socially involved, global citizen, open-minded and connecting.
In September 2019, Erasmus University Rotterdam launched a new strategy with the mission 'Creating a positive social impact, the Erasmian way'. Strategy 2024 is the embodiment of Erasmus University's ambition to use its unique profile to formulate interdisciplinary solutions to complex social issues.
The Strategy Office (SO) guides the EUR in its transition to an impact-oriented university in order to jointly realize its mission: 'creating positive societal impact'. As a central department, the SO is integrally responsible for the implementation (including progress and monitoring) of the strategy in collaboration with central policy departments, faculties, services and academics, or project leads on the various projects and programs. The SO develops, drives, monitors and supports the EUR in order to realize the strategic ambitions in co-creation with the entire community. To facilitate involvement and co-creation, it invests in a strategic communication approach, an appropriate engagement strategy and supportive leadership development.
The SO is part of the General Management Department (ABD), which as a central staff department is responsible for the organisation of policy support at an institutional level. The ABD supports the Executive Board (CvB) in exercising its responsibility for the quality, accessibility and funding of education and research.
