- Corporate Planning & Control (CPC)
- Legal Affairs (JZ)

- Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access (IDEA Center)
The University Library has an extensive collection of books and journals on every subject that is taught at the Erasmus University. The library also supports students and staff in various aspects of their education, teaching and research. Moreover, the library is a nice place to meet, work together and study in silence.
Education & Student Affairs (E&S) focuses on services and support to students, faculties and the Executive Board. We work together with our education partners to provide an optimal study environment in which our students can fulfil their potential.
ERS offers support to individual researchers and research groups in the field of grants, ethical reviews, legal advice, research data management, open science and research intelligence.
Erasmus Digitalisation & Information Services (EDIS) is the ideal partner for EUR institutions and faculties (board and management) that realize the common digitization ambitions of Erasmus University. We translate ambition into concrete and valuable changes, so that students, lecturers, researchers and employees can work and develop safely and reliably.
EDIS has been in existence since 1 July 2022 and is the result of the joining of forces of the former IT Services department, the CIO Office and the Document Information Management (DIM) department.
The Finance service handles all the financial transactions reliably (correctly, completely and on time), so that Erasmus University Rotterdam complies with relevant guidelines and legal frameworks. Processing of financial transactions takes customers minimum time and effort.
From its specialist field, HR makes an effective and efficient contribution to help achieve the organisational strategy and the organisational objectives. HR's main task is to facilitate the organisation by enabling optimal availability and deployment of staff and their talents.
The Marketing & Communications (M&C) service aims to provide an integrated and supported marketing and communications policy that contributes to EUR's strategic objectives. The service ensures that the various parts of the organisation can present themselves to the outside world as one Erasmus University Rotterdam.
Real Estate & Facilities (RE&F) offers inspiring, well-functioning and efficient housing and facility management to enable students, staff and visitors at Erasmus University Rotterdam to perform optimally and feel at home there. Visitors experience the campus as pleasant, comfortable, functional, inspiring and clean.
