Erasmus Research Institute of Management at Erasmus University Rotterdam

In Rotterdam the academic study of management started during a wave of similar initiatives around the beginning of the 20th century, mostly in the United States. These initiatives were usually headed by local businessmen who saw the limitations of existing curricula for educating the (business) leaders of the future, and took place against the backdrop of organisations growing rapidly.

The level and international character of their research and teaching programmes has put both schools at the forefront of academic excellence. They offer a diversified portfolio of accredited teaching and research programmes, ranging from pre-experience MSc to postgraduate Masters and executive development, and from fundamental research to applied research and business support, which are renowned throughout the world. 

World-class research requires world-class research support. ERIM members and doctoral candidates have access to the following services and facilities.

ERIM Research Initiatives are research-fuelled “communities of engagement” where faculty, students, and practitioners connect around specific topic or subject in order to develop new insights and drive impact. Initiatives thus serve as intellectual hubs providing opportunities for investigation, discussion, collaboration, and experimentation around subjects with wide-ranging implications for markets, organizations, and society.
