In terms of research impact and the quality of its degree programmes, EUR can compete with the foremost universities in Europe, which is reflected in its consistent top-100 position in most major universities rankings. Erasmus University Rotterdam’s key values are daring, curiosity, social involvement, breaking new ground and striving for success http://www.eur.nl

The Econometric Institute

The Econometric Institute (part of the Erasmus School of Economics) has a strong research tradition in Econometrics & Operations Research (OR). The OR group works on quantitative methods (e.g. deterministic and stochastic Operations Research techniques) with a strong focus on applications in passenger and freight transportation, logistics, supply chain management and health care. There is a close cooperation with the port of Rotterdam, companies such as Netherlands Railways and with other schools of the university such as RSM (via the research institute ERIM).

The Econometric Institute offers a full-time one-year Master of Science in Econometrics and Management Science program, which serves a select group of students with prior training in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics and Operations Research. Faculty members are also active in teaching in the undergraduate Econometrics & Operations Research program offered by the Econometric Institute. Members typically teach methodological courses in OR, Mathematics or Computer Science as well as case studies where students apply the methodology on problems in e.g. transportation and logistics.  For more information, we refer to the websites of:
