Impact in the port of Rotterdam

Erasmus University Rotterdam conducts research into the Port of Rotterdam from different perspectives. After all, this is a place close to home where we can have immediately a lot of impact. Our researchers and teachers - regularly with the help of special collaborations with partners in the city - contribute from various areas of expertise to a safer, cleaner and more efficient port, which can also ensure economic growth. If that's not an impact!
