Erasmus University Rotterdam contributes to creating a sustainable world through our education. We want students to be aware of the challenges we as a society must overcome in the near future. That is why we offer various courses and subjects in which sustainability plays an important role and we support initiatives in the field of sustainability, such as the Erasmus Sustainability Hub.
Students make themselves heard during the Sustainability Dialogues
In the autumn of 2023, a group of EUR students and employees organized a series of twelve 'Sustainability Dialogues'. During these meetings, more than 500 employees and students shared their ideas for new standards regarding sustainability at our university. This input provides direction for new sustainability strategies, both within the various faculties as well as for the entire university.
