Rotterdam School of Management

[EduCativ]

For over 45 years, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, has firmly established its reputation as one of Europe's leading business schools. Long before 'global' became an essential descriptor for business education, RSM's students, faculty, and staff were already reflecting the globalizing world's diversity and developing the school into a force for positive change.

Just like our host country, one of the world's most renowned and open-minded international trading nations, RSM has continued to expand and internationalize, cementing its status as one of Europe's most international and innovative business schools.RSM offers a distinctive intellectual culture, critical, creative, caring, and collaborative, and committed to the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We believe that leadership can be taught through a combination of intellectual and practical challenges.

We believe that the difficulties encountered by working in diverse teams foster creative new approaches in business. We enjoy a reciprocal, supportive relationship with multinational companies. And we encourage a flexible, broad, and sometimes iconoclastic mindset in business practice and research matters. This distinct approach has helped RSM to establish a portfolio of top-ranked programs, as well as one of the world's largest and most prolific management faculties.

As one of Europe's largest international business schools, RSM reaches a broad international audience of future and current leaders through its broad portfolio of programs, services, and academic activities. Building on Rotterdam and the Netherlands' entrepreneurial tradition, RSM provides management research, education, and societal engagement so people and organizations can thrive worldwide. In keeping with our commitment to the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals, we help students, academics, and people in business become critical, creative, caring, and collaborative thinkers and doers.

Our mission statement is, therefore:

Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, is a force for positive change in the world. We help, educate, and prepare students, academics, and people in business to become critical, creative, caring, and collaborative thinkers and doers. We do this in our operations – in research, education, and engagement – and our role as a thought leader in the worlds of business, research, and education.

• We have researched intelligent energy networks to bring sustainable energy a step closer
• We have initiated a goal-setting course that increases the engagement of our bachelor students
